IIRC, the nis server was running Debian and the nis client was running RH
5.2; until I switched everything to unix_auth, the client wouldn't verify
passwords using the NIS server.  On a different setup, both the system and
the server were running RH 5.2, and NIS wouldn't work until unix_auth was
used in /etc/pam.d/login; what's the point of using PAM if you end up using
unix_auth?
