NFS + NIS madness

[Hetz Ben Hamo]

Hi,
Doesn't help. Actually the problem is bigger..

See this:

[root at client ~]# su - vic
id: cannot find name for user ID 500
id: cannot find name for user ID 500
[I have no name!@client ~]$ pwd
/home/vic

/home/vic is from the NFS.

doing ls -la shows me this:

$ ls -la
total 28
drwx------. 2  500 vic  4096 Nov 23 19:16 .
drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 4096 Nov 25 20:06 ..
-rw-------. 1  500 vic   264 Nov 23 19:52 .bash_history
-rw-r--r--. 1  500 vic    18 May 26  2011 .bash_logout
-rw-r--r--. 1  500 vic   176 May 26  2011 .bash_profile
-rw-r--r--. 1  500 vic   124 May 26  2011 .bashrc

idmapd.conf is configured, nfs service is running, I'm going crazy :)

Thanks,
Hetz
