[rhn-users] NIS or automounter problem

[E Azariah Jason-G20266]

 Hi,
Be at single user mode ( rescue mode) and fire the command called
authconfig , and disable NIS authentication. It will disable the NIS
services (YP) . After this switch over to run level 3 and trouble shoot
the issue.

Thanks
Jason.

In single user just go to /etc and edit fstab to disable the mount
points Also in /etc/rc.d/init.d you will find autofs link.. You can
disable that 

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I have some problems with Redhat EL machine. It was configured as a NIS
member for over a year, running fine. Since monday I cannot log on to
the machine. Not as root or any other user. Also not directly on the
console.
The system accepts user ID and password but the stops responding. No
error message, nothing.

When I reboot the machine I notice that "starting autofs" takes minutes,
which was before a matter of seconds. I don't think that there are
critical directories automounted via NFS or so. But I cannot verify this
because I cannot logon. :-(

I tried starting in single user mode. That works. But then? What can I
do?
Maybe disabling the NIS and automounter at first would be a good idea.
But how? I work with Linux seldom, so I need some hints.

Other machines running AIX working with the same NIS environment and
even mounting the same NFS folders are running fine.

Any comment would be helpful.

Thank you
Thorsten
