I have successfully mad nis server and created nis users on Redhat Enterprise Linux 4, and i also checked the
/etc/nsswitch.conf file on client side.
However when I login to a client, in textmode, as a nis user, I get
"No directory found for /home/user
home='/'.
-bash-2.5a$"
I have checked on the server that this user does have a home directory
Almost there. Distro in hand, modem on the desk ready to be installed. Only need to back-up existing data. Arrrrg. New hard drive to go in external box won't format. It says it's formatting, it takes all the time it needs, then says, sorry, didn't format. A RAW disk is not much good for back-ups. Will have to get another drive. This is getting irritating. Should have stuck with known quantities (Maxtor, WD) instead of trying a new bird (Samsung). That will teach me. Never try anything...

NFS was developed at a time when we weren’t able to share our drives like we are able to today - in the Windows environment. It offers the ability to share the hard disk space of a big server with many smaller clients. Again, this is a client/server environment. While this seems like a standard service to offer, it was not always like this. In the past, clients and servers were unable to share their disk space.
