I've had this problem happen to me when the users home directory was not accessible.  Check to make sure you can read/write into the users home directory.  I'm assuming your using NFS in addition to NIS???   In addition try to log into the user your having a problem with, in a non-X shell, like a simple rlogin.        -----Original Message----- From: Spanke, Alexander [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 12, 2002 10:31 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: AW: NIS problem Hi,   what says the Logs files ?   Alex -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: kpyau [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Montag, 12.
