I have an existing Solaris network which I have addad a Red Hat
Enterprise Linux Version 4 update 4 to. The existing network uses NIS /
NFS capabilities. I have the NFS portion of the network working on the
Linux system fine. When I try to log in to the NIS network through the
gnome login interface I get a series of error dialog boxes complaining
about gconfd not working or Orbit not working. After I close all of the
dialog boxes I am left with a black screen instead of the default blue
screen. I do get the icons for the computer, home folder and trash, and
I can open a terminal window after getting another error dialog about
gconfd missing but the I can continue, as long as I do not need any
menus. This make it difficule to log out. I am looking for help in
correcting the gconf or whatever is causing the problem. I can log in on
the command line virtual terminals with no problems. I read through the
page at /www.gnome.org/projects/gconf, but I only see something about
nfslocks. Since all of my systems come off on a central NFS server,
there is always going to be an nfslock present. Is there any work around
I missd?

All help is appreciated as always,

Thanks,
