Yes. The problem doesn't seem to be the pam.d config files themselves
anyway. I can't get any PAM authentication to work.
When I try to telnet into node01
Nov 27 20:54:33 node01 PAM_unix[13935]: check pass; user unknown
Nov 27 20:54:33 node01 PAM_unix[13935]: authentication failure; (uid=0) -> exa for login service
Nov 27 20:54:35 node01 login[13935]: FAILED LOGIN (1) on `pts/2' from `borg' FOR `exa', Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info.
I'm trying to use NIS for this login. This is an nis client.
NIS maps passwd and shadow.byname seem to work and
getent works with passwd. Is there something I'm missing?
Because this used to work on potato!!
node01:/usr/share/doc/rsh-server# ypmatch exa passwd
exa:x:1000:1000:Eray 'exa' Ozkural,,,:/home/exa:/bin/bash
node01:/usr/share/doc/rsh-server# ypmatch exa shadow.byname
exa:$[... stufff ...]
So everything seems to be fine and dandy. It's just that this
users can't login. :(
Now, where does the brilliant authentication service retrieve
authentication information from? glibc?
node01:/usr/share/doc/rsh-server# getent passwd exa
exa:x:1000:1000:Eray 'exa' Ozkural,,,:/home/exa:/bin/bash
node01:/usr/share/doc/rsh-server# getent shadow exa
Unknown database: shadow
Try `getent --help' or `getent --usage' for more information.
Might this be the problem? :((
