[Sheflug] gnome - nis - debian problem

[Alan Dawson <aland [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have a working NIS /NFS server (i believe) on suse 7.3 and a client running 
debian woody on sparc

The odd thing is that - though i can log on with kde, when i try to run gnome 
the gnome loader splash screen hangs at either loading the gnome windowmanager 
or loading mouse.

In my home directory i get a .gnome-errors

which contains 


GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to: No such user 500.
SESSION_MANAGER=local/iskra:/tmp/.ICE-unix/1120

Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library

GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to: No such user 500.
rep: function returned both exception and value, or neither!

GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to: No such user 500.

Any of this make any sense?  Is it a gnome / nis server or nis client issue?
