what are these error messages?

[ajay raghuraj]

Hi,

Does anyone know why the users lpastern and vnmr1 and kuniyuki aren't
able to locate their home --------->

I think you may need to check the NIS passwd map. These entries do not seem
to exist in the map.  How about "ypmatch lpastern passwd " /"ypmatch vnmr1
passwd" / ypmatch kuniyuki passwd ? what do these show?

Regards,
Ajay
