Bug 87894

Description of problem:
I've configured XFree to allow remote login from old HP Envizex II x terminals.
 I've used http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/procedure.html to configure my
Xserver.  Almost everything is working:
On the console (run-lvl 5):
- I can log in has root or any NIS user
- I can do su - (from root to any nis user)

On a X terminal station connected to my X server:
- I can log in has root ONLY
- I can't log in has any NIS user.. here is the actual error message from
/var/adm/messages:
messages:Apr  1 16:22:57 rh-test gdm(pam_unix)[6882]: session opened for user
fortierv by (uid=0)
messages:Apr  1 16:22:57 rh-test automount[852]: attempting to mount entry
/home/fortierv
messages:Apr  1 16:22:57 rh-test gdm(pam_unix)[6882]: session closed for user
fortierv
and the error message from Xfree86 log file (i've masked my IP):
XFree86.0.log:AUDIT: Tue Apr  1 16:40:43 2003: 7499 X: client 6 rejected from IP
aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd port 38536

note:  My /home/* directories are automounted.. and always worked properly
directly on the console or by invoking su command.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
XFree86-4.2.0-8
XFree86-xdm-4.2.0-8
ypbind-1.10-7
pam-0.75-46.7.3


How reproducible:
I've configured my X server to allow remote connections with
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/procedure.html on a 7.2 server and a 7.3
server and had the same problem on both.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure the X server with
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/procedure.html manual
2. Boot your envizex x terminal and log on your server with a nis user name
3.
    
Actual results:


Expected results:
will allow root login
won't allow login from nis user

Additional info:
I've tried to log in with different type of old hp envizex machines (700rx,
envizex II, etc.) and all did the same on both my 7.2 and 7.3 redhat servers.

Theses 2 server where installed with dell "installer" (they are 2450 and 2550
servers).  The symptom was the same with either a fresh 7.2 or 7.3 install or an
updated one with up2date (rhn network) (up2date done this week..).

thnx
