czech LQ Newbie Registered: Aug 2002 Posts: 1 Rep:	could not open session Running Redhat 7.3 in heavily networked environment. Environment has NIS; nsswitch.conf says: passwd: files nis Modified /etc/group and /etc/passwd with changes for group, groupid. Ran pwconv, grpconv greeted with "could not open session" when I try to launch xterrm. Above works fabulously on Solaris, other OSes. What gives? Thanks in advance Corwin
