Well... it is possbile... that there was an old problem with Redhat 5.x, where you had to edit /etc/nsswitch.conf. If you don't use nis, or nis+ remove all refereces to it. This has 'fixed' most proples problem with regard to that. Now I can't say this is right, and I did not get the fix driectly from Redhat. I just reported it to the Redhat Install list, and another fellow who had created a trouble ticket, forwarded the fix to me.
That was quite a while ago, but It works fine....
thanks,
Joshua.
