The groups problem gave me a headache too, but I recently found the solution. Check out /var/yp/Makefile for the MINGID variable. Default is 500. Set it to 1, so group information for every group > 1 gets exported.

BTW, as soon as I have a wiki account, I'll write a detailed HOWTO on how to configure NIS/NFS on SalixOS. Here in my office, I have such a setup on Slackware, but I guess SalixOS will do as well 8-)
Thanks, I'll test these settings by monday. Just one question - doesn't it imply a security problem setting the MINGID so low?

edit 2 - I just managed to find an answer to the Firefox problem:

Code: Select all

firefox -P
And then I the users can configure their own profiles and run many Firefox sessions at once.

Code: Select all

firefox --no-remote
could also be a solution, I think.
