No we're just running the nis package from Debian.
ypwhich properly lists the nis server that the machine is bound to
(either our nis master or it's slave). ypcat brings up the password
file, just no passwords. They're all just "x". (i.e. the token
saying to go look up the password in the shadow map).
I've 2 nis servers (one master, one slave), both have ypserv.conf
like this:
# Host : Map : Security :
Passwd_mangle
#
* : passwd.byname : port : yes
* : passwd.byuid : port : yes
* : * : none
/var/yp/Makefile has been edited to build and distribute the
shadow.byname map.
All hosts on the net are linux boxes runing Debian 1.3 with the
nis package, and shadowconfig on.
But when you try to login, it says it has an invalid passwd.
Doing a `ypmatch user passwd` as root brings up:
user:x:123:123:comment:/home/user:/bin/sh
It seems that it isn't properly looking up the shadow password.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Behan
