Hi all,
I just switched to enhanced security on the master NIS server and normal
users can no longer log in. User's homes are mounted over nfs via autofs
from a variety of machines, no homes are stored locally. If I change the
user's home to a local directory the user can log in perfectly. There is
no problem logging in on any of the clients, which are all either
non-tru64 or base security. I'm running v5.1a+pk1 on an AlphaStation 500.

{30} su - lcarey
No directory

{31} ssh localhost -l lcarey
WARNING: Could not chdir to home directory /users/lcarey: Permission
denied
No directory!
Logging in with home = "/".
Connection to localhost closed.

{31} ls -ld ~lcarey
drwxr-xr-x 110 lcarey flywork 16384 Jul 3 00:52 /users/lcarey/
{32} ls -ld /users
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root system 512 Jul 3 01:08 /users/
{33} ls -ld /
drwxr-xr-x 26 root system 8192 Jul 2 23:31 //

In the archives someone mentioned a permissions problem. The permissions
are the same on the clients, and the logins work.

any ideas?
