Hello,

We just installed three new sun ultra5's in 66-008 today.  I am unable to 
login to these machines as a user.  The error message is

Login Incomplete

Your home directory is unavailable.  A temporary home ...

Continue   Abort

If I go to continue then either it 

a.) goes to athena with temporary home (about 5% of the time)

b.) gives second error message saying

Login Failed

Unable to get your passwd entry.


I think it would seem that the machines are unable to access the athena home 
directory space of current users?  I guess a new installation of athena OS 
would solve the problem??

Please advise on further action I need to take.

Thanks,

Shawn Mowry
