Also look at what options (read-write permissions you are setting for
your export, for example) you are choosing on the server side.

My previous instructions were for an NIS client. Did you install the
NIS server and configure it? The Network Administration Guide
(available off of http://www.linuxdoc.org/) and the documentation that
comes with NIS should have more information on this.

Obviously, there is a problem here. Probably because of you not
creating the appropriate maps on the server side (see above).

Good.

When you export /home/rajeev on the server, make sure that user rajeev
has permissions to read and write.
