Solaris

Hi all,

Recently i have implemented NIS functionality in solaris 10 and i have created server and client with user in server side by giving

useradd -d /export/home/user1 -m -s /bin/sh user1

after that I went to /var/yp dir and give /usr/ccs/bin/make so that it will refelect to client machine.

1.problem

Now when i try to login with this user1 i can login but whenever i tried to careate any dir or file i get

bash-3.00$ mkdir a
mkdir: Failed to make directory "a"; Permission denied

i dnt why it is happening .

2.Problem

Also i can directly login the user but whenever i tried to login with su then i get

bash-3.00$ su - user3
Password:
su: No directory!
bash-3.00$
bash-3.00$

It is not able to find the dir . here is my auto_home file in server as well client where SS09 is server name

more /etc/auto_home

#
# ident "@(#)auto_home 1.6 03/04/28 SMI"
#
# Home directory map for automounter
#
+auto_home
* SS09:/export/home/&

any help or suggestion will be appreciated.

It looks like the Solaris 10 machines aren't mapping the userIDs
correctly. All machines belong to the same NIS domain. I suspect NFSv4,
but can't be sure. Are you doing something wrong here?

Make sure you're NFSv4 mapid domain matches (client and server).

You can override the default in /etc/default/nfs, and can check what
your current one is /var/run/nfs4_domain.

Both the client and server have same domain name .So domainname problem should nt be exist
