I am suspecting an issue related to NIS user in my environment,what is happening is that after every weekend restart my init services are not getting started, which i am trying to start using NIS user "adm"

When i checked the /var/log/messages , i found the following errors :-
++++++++++++++++++++++++=
Nov 20 15:30:34 nvcyeo3 paymentapps: /bin/su user adm doesnt exist
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
but after reboot completes ,i am able to start the init services manually without any errors

In /etc/yp.conf i have following entries

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
domain accDomain server nvcyeoe1.ny.com
domain accDomain server nvcyeoe2.ny.com
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

ypwhich command return following output
+++++++++++++++++
nvcyeoe1.ny.com

ANy thoughts , what i am doing wrong .. please suggest

Thanks

Are you sure NIS has started beofre the services that fail?

Not sure, is there a way to check out ??
do you mean to say that we can configure NIS service to start first before any other process can refer it ??

But the same setting is working fine on other machines in my environment,only problem i have with one machine

Can you someone please suggest ,what all things probably i can cross check..

Is there a way to start NIS service before any boot up service can refer to it?

If the order of services is the problem, look into the relevant /etc/rcX.d dir (where X = runlevel; typically 3 for a cli server)

NIS service is running perfectly at runlevel 3

On my machine in "/etc/auto.home" there are 3 entries of mount points(NFS share) which all need to be mounted as & when requested.

But i am having a hard time in understanding that there are two other NFS shares which are also getting mounted
on my machine as & when browsed.

But i didnt understand where the configuration has been done for theses two directories as their enteries neither exist in "/etc/fstab" nor in "/etc/auto.home" & not in "/etc/auto.master"

Kindly help in understand this Automatic mounting & where else i can check the configuration of these two directories which doesnt exist in above mentioned files.
