Nis refusing logins

[Pedro Quaresma de Almeida <pedro@mat.uc.pt>]

Hi
==

I have instaled  nis_3.1.deb (with libc6) but I am having problems
with the non-local users.

I have the following entry in /etc/passwd

  +piupiu:*:0:0::/home/merlin/msky:/bin/bash

but when the user piupiu try to login

  Debian GNU/Linux 1.3 hilbert.mat.uc.pt

  hilbert login: piupiu
  Password: 
  Login incorrect

What is the problem (and the solution)?

I have set the ypdomain correctly, ypwhich finds the correct machine,
ypcat passwd | grep piupiu finds the correct user, but...


Thank you
