Comment:

I have NIS setup on a machine but when I try to login with a server based user account, an error message pops up saying " unable to access home directory. Click OK to start a Failsafe session, or Cancel to restart login "
While if I try to login using local Root account, it works.
Help please.......

check also /etc/auto_home and /etc/auto_master for mounting your /export/home dir to local /home dir
