Yeah, but it's more annoying than that.
I just changed the nsswitch entries from compat to nis and I can now
login.
exa@node01:~$ more /etc/nsswitch.conf
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
# If you have the `glibc-doc' and `info' packages installed, try:
# `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file.
passwd: nis
group: nis
shadow: nis
ho...
But AFAIK compat should work, too. It used to work on our potato
system.
And again,
node01:~# getent shadow
Unknown database: shadow
Try `getent --help' or `getent --usage' for more information.
won't work. I mean as root I should be able to check whether glibc can
fetch shadow map ;) The ypcat shows me everything.
