hi,
I want to add some thing more to the things I said yesterday.
1- most of the client machines have ~500 MB disk, and this is just enough 
to up them. Then they use bornova ( this machine, yesterday I upgraded to 
3.2c) as a file server mostly. Beside /usr/local/bin they use some other 
X files + many utilities uses from here.
2- There was a machine which does not use bornova as a file server which 
have its own disks and use them, does not have this kinds of problem. I 
can login from its console also ( which also use NIS as a client ).
	I think the problem is not NIS, rather its NFS. I suspect that a 
file or files has changed at NFS server ( bornova ) after upgrade and 
other clients has influenced this. Again I say, I can telnet to this 
machines but can't login from console. It accepts userid and passwd, and 
login ( seems to be ) then for a while ( in 2-3 seconds ) agaun DIGITAL 
logo appears.
Any idea ?

After many trials and reboots, I understand the reason. The reason was 
that 3.2c changed some files at /usr/bin/X11 and this dir. is used by 
other machines. So some how, they did not liked the newest ones. I 
modified the clients  to use another NFS server(a 3.2 box) to use this 
dir, and it works fine now.
Sincerely.
murat.
