Steve,

This shouldn't happen. I'm not running 9.0 yet (as 8.2 does everything I
need on all sites) but you might want to check the following ...

As root on an 8.2 client that you can't log in successfully on, look at
/var/log/messages for NFS errors (or similar).

Try logging on to same machine with non-gui login (Ctrl-Alt-F1). Any
errors there ? If so it could be a KDE config file issue.

I think the NFS rpc versions are the same between 8.2 and 9.0 but if not
that could cause a problem. Anyone with 9.0 confirm this ?
