Subject: libc6: Libc6 doesn't support NIS netgroups in /etc/passwd
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 3.1.5
Package: libc6
Version: 2.0.7u-2
I have a machine on which I want only a small subset of my users to
have a valid shell...
Under debian 1.3, I made an NIS netgroup called 'admin' with these
users in it, and put the following entries in /etc/passwd
+@admin::0:0:::
+::0:0:::/bin/false
So that users in the admin netgroup can log into the machine, while
other users can't (but still have a visible home directory).
This doesn't seem to work under debian 2.1... the +@admin entry
doesn't seem to do anything.
Since I use nis, my /etc/nsswitch.conf is as below. From the glibc
documentation I can't seem to figure out how to get netgroups
working...
Is there a solution to this problem, or is this yet another case where
linux doesn't seem to implement NIS netgroups?
