NIS Boots Me Out

I have a NIS environment using all Solaris 9 systems. After all kinds of trobleshooting i am to the point where I can login to a NIS account from a client system. However, the logon process starts and the splash screen is displayed and then the desk top is displayed but then it flashes and kicks me right back to the logon screen. I do have home directories setup for the users also. Is there something im missing here that NIS requires to logon?

Thanks

I figured it out... Looks like the users home directory's permissions were set wrong. I fix it by chown of the directory to the proper owner.
