Sassan, I am no expert in this area, but I've done some digging. I think the login is doing a getpwent() call which is using NIS, but there is a segmentation fault somewhere in that call which causes a core dump. I get core files for login, su, & ls when any of these programs need to reference the NIS maps. At first I thought I was because I had not installed 4/12 SNAP correctly and still had a mixed bag of R2.0 and SNAP code on the systems. Well I reinstalled everything, taking no shortcuts, and still have the same problems. I figure most of the experts are busy with getting 2.0.5 out the door. Someone must have this stuff working so my guess is I'm doing something silly when setting it up. I plan on getting the 2.0.5 release and setting aside enough disk space so I can debug this one myself. I gotta pry that extra 400M disk off my wife's MS-DOS machine ;). I'll let you know if I have any luck. I posted this back to the questions list so anyone with more info can respond.
