RE: NIS or automounter problem

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.

Subject: [rhn-users] NIS or automounter problem

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
