Hi,
Have you configured autofs to mount the appropriate home directories?.
If not you need to ensure autofs is started and ensure you have
something similar to
/home auto.home in /etc/auto.master where auto.home is a NIS Map
containing entries like
<user> <mount point>:&
bob nishome:/export/homes/:&
Good Luck
