i've created home dir on Sun server and on the linux i create the same account without created home dir locally on the liunx.
on the Sun server, i've exported the home directory (/etc/dfs/dfstab), start the nfs.server damon.
on the linux, i've amended the /etc/fstab to mount the exportfs from Sun server.
Both Sun and Liunx have the same login, same passwd and same home directory.
but when log in to liunx, during the loading, it stops loading after the desktop icon and later gives us a blank screen.
Is there any steps I missed out? I could see the account created inside /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd.
on the sun server, there's two network card ( 1 to serve the private LAN - 10.x.x.x, and the other to link to my teaching LAN - 172.16.160.x). Is there a confict?
help me, really lost.
