Re: NIS problems
I have the plus entries in /etc/passwd and /etc/group in the client, not
in the master.
/etc/passwd
+:*::::
/etc/group
+:*:*:
I also changed the /etc/nsswitch.conf to use either "compat" or "db nis
files" for the passwd, group, shadow entries.
It still does not work.
Appreciate any other suggestions/comments.
