HI,

I installed Mandrake 9.1 Last night.st up the user account and all that and even logged into the user account(not root).
After I made some kde adjustmensts, I logged out of the user account and logged in as root to start setting up the networking stuff I need to run.

After tinkering a bit, and getting not realy anywhere, I decided to log out of root and back into the user account. A stupid thing happend when I done this. The system will no longer allow me to login to that user account. I even deleted the thing and recreated it. But to no avail, I can not log into the user account.

Question: One of the things I did was to start the yppassword server, could this have caused the problem?

Thanks for any reply.

This version of Mandrake in my opinion has a lot of potential, it's to bad that the setup tools don't work. Well, nothing but webmin anyways. I wish they would start using webmins perameters in all the other tools so that everything is compatable. How hard is that?

you use yppasswd along with ypserv for NIS configurations.

So, unless you want to run NIS, you can turn the yp services off.
