Subject: netscape only runs as root (and RH incompatibilities)

    I am running SuSE 6.4 on PWS433au and PWS 500au in a heterogeneous
    network (I have also some RedHat on K7 and K6). To fit both enviroments is
    actually a pain in the neck. SuSE Pine uses home/Mail rather than
    home/mail as in RedHat, openssh built from alphalinux.org src.rpm
    requires different configuration of pam, etc. However all these crazy
    problems were already solved (or circumvented). The remainning one
    concerns Nerdscape:
    I can run it as root (actually also as any other LOCAL user). The weird
    thing is NIS users can start it, it loads but it does not display :( All
    other X apps that I have tried (emacs, xterm, gnome,etc.) are working
    fine.

    Any clue?
