I have setup a NIS Master Server and client. On the server, I created a test account. This account can login without issue to the NIS client, but when I attempt to login to the NIS Master Server with this client, I get this error...Could not update ICEauthority file /home/nisusers/.ICEauthorityI am able to open the text command line using ctrl+alt+f1 and login to the account. However, I have no home directory for the account and therefor no .ICEauthority file.
NIS Accounts Can't Login to NIS Server, work on NIS Clients - ICEauthority
