KDE starts too slow when using NIS and NFS[SOLVED]

Hi everybody.
Today i tried to set up NIS server so that username and password can be stored in a central server and users can login any client PC with his own username/password. I also set up NFS so that user home directory can be mapped to client PC when an user login.
I am using KDE at client PCs and it take a fews minutes for an user to login with his username/password:D:D. Again when i try to start an application in KDE, it take very long to start. But when it started, it run very fast without any delay.

Any idea about these problems ?

I had the same problem here. After all I figured out wat it was. When you login, take a look at "dmesg" and you will find the following messages:
statd: server localhost not responding, timed out
lockd: cannot monitor 192.168.123.100
lockd: failed to monitor 192.168.123.100
Wenn you install the nfs-utils and then start nfslockd and nfsd, everything will work.

:D:D You are the champion. Problem has been fixed. I don't know that the client PC needs NFS daemon run too.

Cheers.
