Do you get this error when there is no process called firefox? I mean # ps -aux | grep firefox # Then do this cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/[profile_name] rm lock .parentlock

Many times client computer doesn't get IP address even if its protocol is DHCP. If we manually give IP address to it, everything works perfectly fine. Thus the command to give manual IP is as follow ifconfig eth0 'new_ip' netmask 255.255.255.0 up Do not forget to fill in the IP adress you want. Also if the default routes are screwed up, fix it like this cat >> /etc/sysconfig/network GATEWAY='Gateway_IP' END

These are the scripts which I have tried and tested in order to set NIS service over the network. On server side : yum -y install ypserv domainname SCRC cat >> /etc/yp.conf ypserver 127.0.0.1 END cat >> /etc/sysconfig/network NISDOMAIN=SCRC END service ypserv start chkconfig ypserv on /usr/lib/yp/ypinit -m service ypbind start chkconfig ypbind on service ypxfrd start chkconfig ypxfrd on cd /var/yp make On client side : yum -y install ypbind domainname SCRC cat >> /etc/yp.conf ypserver pioneer END cat >> /etc/sysconfig/network NISDOMAIN=SCRC END service ypbind start chkconfig ypbind on Do not forget to change /etc/nsswitch.conf
