Hello,
First, apologies for cross posting this on both redhat-list and the
xfree86-list.
We 've setup NIS/NFS to automount our home directories, and provide
centralized passwords. The entire system runs on RHEL v3, and works
fine for text-only logins. However; when we login using the GUI, the
password is accepted, and then the system hangs with the familiar
x-shaped cursor. The "Red Hat " screen doesn 't even appear.
I 've tried mounting the directories manually, and the same happens, so
I don 't believe the automounter is at fault. I 've tried a few
combinations of NFS options, but am continuing to investigate more.
However, if I copy the home directory to the local machine, everything
loads fine.
I 've poked through the XFree86 logs, but don 't see anything too scary.
I am; however, seeing messages of the form "lockd: Server XXX not
responding, still trying ". But I can see the files in both mounted
directories.
Any other ideas? I am posting my results in bug #102402, which was
initially opened for Red Hat 9, but the symptoms are nearly the same.
Thanks for any other ideas,
Norman
