RedHat EL4 NIS server, Solaris 10 Client - login & automount problems

Good day,

I'm a NIS newbie (catching the train better late than never, I guess) and have configured my X4100 with RedHat EL4 as my NIS server. I don't have any slaves yet, but I've configured a Solaris 10 box as a cllient. I essentially only want to share passwd, group, alias and auto_home information.

To make thiis brief, I can ssh onto the client with a uname/passwd only defined on the server and can log in successfully, but my /home never gets auto mounted. In fact the client box complains:

mapomme:~ jfilla$ ssh nisuser@stagec1

Password:

Could not chdir to home directory /home/nisuser: Permission denied

Sun Microsystems Inc.SunOS 5.10Generic January 2005

-bash: /home/nisuser/.bash_profile: Permission denied

and on top of that my NIS server box complains:

Here is my nsswitch.conf on my Sol10 client:

# the following two lines obviate the "+" entry in /etc/passwd and /etc/group.

passwd:files nis

group:files nis

# consult /etc "files" only if nis is down.

hosts:files dns

# Note that IPv4 addresses are searched for in all of the ipnodes databases

# before searching the hosts databases.

ipnodes:files dns

networks:files

protocols: files

rpc:files

ethers:files

netmasks:files

bootparams: files

publickey: files

netgroup:files nis

automount: files nis

aliases:files nis

# for efficient getservbyname() avoid nis

services:files nis

printers:user files nis

auth_attr: files

prof_attr: files

project:files

Is it realistic to have a RH NIS server and a Sol10 client? It seems the Sol10 client wants info from maps never generated by (user_attr etc.) RedHat. What do i need to do to make this work.

Thanks folks,

Joe

have u tried running showmount -e <nis_server> on you Sol10 client? This will show u if you have permissions to mount to your home dir server. Also worth a check, is NFS running on ur linux box?
