Hi All,


*


***********
I have a Server with a quad-core Intel Xeon processor and 4 GB of RAM that I
just installed Fedora 8 X-64 on. I am trying to set it up to work with NIS from
a RHEL 4.0 Server. We just use NIS for auto mounting users homes.


*


***********
I can get everything configured properly, but I cannot manage to make auto
mount to work. I have read a lot of the info on NIS not working in Fedora 8,
but have not found a workaround/hack yet to make this work (if someone has a
work around please share).


*


***********
I also have a problem with gdmgreeter crashing that apparently this is related
to having NIS enabled on the system, and something about it starting NIS before
GDM is started.


*


***********
Thanks for any help you can provide


*


*********** Regards
Brent

You would have to provide some more details to be able to help.

What exactly doesn't work? Any error messages in /var/log/messages?

NIS needs to be up before GDM, otherwise GDM can't work.
