hai managers,


        we have a hetrogenous network of dec alpha, hp and sgi machines
        at our place..
        alpha m/cs were working fine but when we try to bring them into
        NIS it is giving problem
        
        whenever NIS is setup in the machine it is refusing the root
        login from either the terminal or the console.
        we have tried all permutations and combination of
        NIS with and without C2 security..
        when CDE is installed it is allowing root login from CDE window only.,
        we are new to DU and are unable to track down the problem
        
        our master and slave(2) NIS servers are HP9000/700 series machines

        we are running DU3.2C
        
        i have searched the archive of this list also but could'nt get
        any help.

        Any help will be appreciated and TIA
