On our DU (3.2/4.0) machines, some of our users are having problems logging
in. We're using amd to get the home directories, but the following messages
appear. A cd (as root) to the users home directory works no problem and the
directory on the remote home directory server (Sparc 10)can be mounted
manually with no problem. The following messages appear every an su is tried.
# su - username
NFS2 lookup failed for server server1 : RPC: Authentication error
NFS2 lookup failed for server server2 : RPC: Authentication error
No directory
Occasionally, the user is logged in with / as the home directory, but any
operations like ls od pwd will give an i/o error.
This problem only seems to affect a few users - if user1 and user2
have home directories on the same partition on the remote nfs server,
user1 can login but user2 can't.
It is not a problem with the remote nfs server and it is not a problem
with the DU mounting the remote directories.
Any ideas?
Regards
