I am running debian Linux on a two machine lab... One server, one client. I installed the nis, netbase, and netstd packages, and followed nis.debian.howto to set up my net. However, when I add users to the master machine, the client does not recognize them as valid users. Is there something I need to do in the etc/passwd file to get the client to recognize the users and passwords? Any help appreciated... Mike Devine Eastern Washington University
