Unable to access home area

Good morning,

I have a solaris 8 machine (Sunblade 1000) that is configured with NIS, I have checked everything I can think of to make sure everything is correctly configured which it appears it is but when I try to log into CDE it says it is unable to access my home area and it also does the same for my colleague. I can log in as root fine and I am able to log in remotely through a shell with my user details.

Anything you can think of I might of missed or I can do would be appreciated

Regards
Will

My first guess at the problem is that the particular machine is not in a netgroup that is allowed to access nfs shares from your home are server.
