Unable to Log In to Sun NIS server

Greetings,

I have recently inherited 3 sun servers from a shop that my parent company closed. One of these servers is an old Ultra 1 running SunOS 5.6 that acts as a NIS server for the other two servers. This NIS server seems to boot OK and function properly as a NIS server. However, I can't seem to log into it unless I boot in Single user mode.

When I boot the machine in "regular" mode, I eventually get a Login Gui "Welcome to Open Windows". When I enter the root username and password, the GUI diappears and I'm left with a gray screen that has a box in the lower left corner that says "console log for auback2" (auback2 being the hostname of the machine). That's it. I've tried telnetting in from one of the other servers but that doesn't work. The telnet session hangs (on the client machine) before I'm prompted for a login.

Is there something obvious I'm missing? If not, any ideas on what I should be looking at to solve this problem?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

SevenFortyOne
