Thanks to some good advice from Russ, Joshua and others I have narrowed down
the problem a bit, it seems that KDE 3.1 has a problem with NIS.
As soon as I start KDE I see these messages being generated in the system
log:

Mar 18 17:59:50 xena ypbind[1378]: [ID 379826 daemon.error] service not
installed, use /usr/sbin/ypinit -c
Mar 18 17:59:55 xena ypbind[1379]: [ID 379826 daemon.error] service not
installed, use /usr/sbin/ypinit -c
Mar 18 18:00:00 xena ypbind[1380]: [ID 379826 daemon.error] service not
installed, use /usr/sbin/ypinit -c
Mar 18 18:00:05 xena ypbind[1381]: [ID 379826 daemon.error] service not
installed, use /usr/sbin/ypinit -c
Mar 18 18:00:10 xena ypbind[1382]: [ID 379826 daemon.error] service not
installed, use /usr/sbin/ypinit -c

I have run ypinit -c and everything is fine.  I can log in to an NIS account
with CDE, OpenWindows, GNOME, or KDE 3.0.x, so I can guarantee that the NIS
client configuration is correct.  KDE 3.1 seems to be broken in this regard.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix it?  I am typing this from GNOME 1.4 on
the same system (Solaris 8 / sparc) but I'd really like to use the new KDE.

thanks in advance,
A
