<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hello all, let me explain the challenge I am facing. I recently set up 3 machines (1 server and 2 clients) as a Linux Cluster. The server serves out NFS and NIS information. Happily, this works. But I noticed something strange on a client machine - this only happens when I log into the client with a nonlocal userid (ie, one pulled from the NIS server). When I am working, everything is fine on such a client node. But when I shut it down, it stops with the following errors:</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I want to note that my firewall is off on all machines and that I am using Fedora Core 6. I suspect that the issue has to do with NIS, but not sure how. Everything works except the shutdown. Has anyone seen this issue before? Any advice?</FONT></P>
