Login problems for some users

[JIMMY BEASLEY]

ntpdate  "time.server"
    on all systems having problems
stop your nisplus client service and remove /var/nis/NIS_COLD_START
nisinit -c -H "master.domainame."
    see if you can get a new /var/nis/NIS_COLD_START from your master nisplus
server
restart keyserv ,  automount , nscd ,
nisls
    if the nisls command returns correctly users should be able to login
