NIS logins - directory doesn't seem to appear

["Scott R. Ehrlich" <user=81@nabble.blu.org>]

 I'm in the home stretch of recreating my working test environment with 
Samba and NIS/NFS working from the same server (RHEL 5 Server) and 
CentOS 5/ WinXP w/SP2 as clients. 

Samba works perfectly as a PDC. 

I was able to succcessfully initiate a ypyinit -s server on the client and 
the dtaa came through fine, and accounts on the server were created, but 
when I try to log in to a client (all on the production side), CentOS 
complains the yp-based account /home/testuer doesn't seem to exist and 
threatens to log me in as root. 

I got past this during my test trials by adding +:: related lines in 
/etc/group and /etc/passwd on the client.   Repeating this on a production 
client doesn't seem to have any effect. 

I have been through the 
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php?Quick_How... document 
several times with no luck. 

I'm working with 32-bit and 64-bit versions of CentOS (if that makes any 
difference). 

Insights welcome. 

Thanks. 

Scott
