I'm trying to setup some servers at school. I'm using NIS because I've use it

ypserv and ypbind come up as running on their respective machines, but the
client machine - at first seemed to authenticate and then give "can';t write
to /home folder" messages and now seems not to authenticate at all.
NFS is up and running. I can see and access the server's home folders from
the client machine.
Where does one start to trouble shoot?
Hi Phil,
Check that the portmap daemon is running on the NFS server:
---
$ ps auxw | grep portmap
daemon 126 0.0 0.0 1380 432 ? Ss May30 0:00 /sbin/portmap
---
Check the server is responding by using rpcinfo on the client:
---
/usr/bin/rpcinfo -p <server_name>
---
What do you have in your /etc/exports file?
What logging in messages/syslog do you get when you startup ypbind/ypserv?
