Hi to all,<br />
<br />
I setup NIS server and client can connect &nbsp;through SSH but can’t connect to it via GUI. &nbsp;The problem might be to do with mounting home directory on client machine, I did manual mounting but still client can’t access it through GUI. &nbsp;I have seen some article saying automount (Autofs) need to be configured. Unfortunately I have a problem with that it doesn’t work. &nbsp;Question is<br />
- does it has to be automount?<br />
- if not then user can’t login to GUI with manual mounting of home directory?<br />

I am using RHEL5<br />

NIS Client cannot access through Gnome

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
