Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Yes, we use NIS and DNS. I don't know if the domain names are the same
or not. Is this important?
How do I find the DNS domain name?
We have always logged in graphically, and I haven't seen an option to
login textually except from the DT login manager, but the machine never
gets to that stage. I've tried booting to run levels 1 and 2, but no
change in behaviour.

One question, do you use NIS? And if so are the NIS domainname and DNS
domainname the same?

Do you login in graphic mode or text?
before graphic mode there is a chance for a text mode login.
