connect SLES9 NIS client to SOLARIS NIS server

> it is posseble to connect linux machine (NIS client) to SUN (NIS server) ?
It's doable and I've done this for 100+ Linux NIS client with Solaris NIS server.

> finish the NIS service start and i get error NIS server not found  
1. Edit
/etc/yp.conf
------
domain  <your NIS domain name>  server <your NIS server IP>
-------

2. Check /etc/nsswitch.conf  for "nis" in passwd, shadow, group, hosts.....items

3. Make sure you can pint NIS server
ping <your NIS server IP>
Otherwise check the routing table
netstat -rn

4. Make sure no firewall block the NIS.
/etc/init.d/iptables stop

5. Restart the ypbind
/etc/init.d/ypbind restart

Thank you ...you so right  this is  FW problem...thanks
now i have another problem the users use tcsh shell when they login they get error   /sbin/tcsh: No such file or directory.
tcsh on suse found on /bin so i copy it to sbin is that right to do this ?
 

Make a soft link instead of hard copy.
ln -s /bin/tcsh  /sbin/tcsh

thank you again your suggestion help to solve the error /sbin/tcsh: No such file or directory...thanks
but now i have another problem ): ...sorry : )
the users need to connect remotly via exceed when they try to login they get error "x session login for username is disable" but i know how to solve the problem ... ( :
when i change the file /etc/passwd for the user that try to loging instead of tcsh shell i change it to bash shell and the user succeed to login without any error.
i think that this is occur because the the tcsh link because with bash its working.

Thanks
