Re: help: telnet knows about NIS, ftp doesnt

[brannon@bufo.usc.edu (Terrence M. Brannon)]

I again supplied insufficient information. When I ftp to the debian
machine, I get an ftp prompt. If I enter a non-existant login-name, it
then prompts for password and then refuses entry. If I enter a user
whose name is listed via NIS, he is immediately refused entry before
prompting for a password. A locally created user has no problem
logging in. Transcript below:
