Basically�Iam�having�the�problem�below:
I�have�a�server�exporting�NIS/NFS�to�my�other�2�pc's,�the server�amongst�others�is 
exporting�/home�to�all�my�machines�with�the�user�created�on�the�server).
So�I�can�boot�up�any�box�and�login�to�my�account�on�the�server..
 
This�works�fine�if�I�boot�up�to�text�mode�and�then�login�and�type:�startx,
 
But�if�i�up�boot�up�to�init:5�to�gdm�to�log�in�(it�works�fine�as�root�for�both�text�and�gdm,
 as root is only allowed to log into the local 
account)�it�refuses�access,�basically�in�/var/log/messages,�it�moaning�about�cannot�authorise�the�user,�

As��it�works�fine�booting�to�init:3�and�then�logging�in�and�starting�X�for�normal�users.

It seems that gdm for some reason is not using nis? and looking directly at the local 
/etc/passwd file, and cannot find the user 
 
To�be�honest�Iam�not�sure�where�the�problem�could�be,�gdm,�pam,�X?
