Hello ygemici,
Thank you for your reply. I am not sure that I understand all of what you said. I have rights to change the /etc/auto_home and /etc/auto_master. The current local home is set similar to what you recommend (e.g.):

Example entry from the auto_home:
---------------------------------------------------
user1 nisserver:/Ldisk/accounts/user1.
---------------------------------------------------
The auto_master has the following:
---------------------------------------------------
# Master map for automounter
#
+auto_master
/home auto_home
/apps auto_apps -nosuid
#/user/local auto_local
---------------------------------------------------

I checked for the rpc.nisd deamon but did not see it running (did a "ps -ef | grep rpc") or that it is present. I saw rpcypbind deamon was running.

I am fairly new to the Unix environment so I do not know as much as I should (yet...).

The other thing is that my account (which does not work on the system now) worked previously. There was an issue when my predecessor created the account and he mentioned something about the shadow password being a problem. I am not sure if this is the same thing again...?Smilie
