I recently switched our nis master server from AIX to linux. There are still a number of AIX hosts that should be run as nis clients or nis slaves. How do non shadow password clients get the password entries? How do I make it on AIX which doesn't have shadow passwords but a similar mechanism using /etc/security/passwd with a syntax linke this: root: password = mYfasd/89ßsx # this is not the right one of course lastupdate = 829567557 flag = nextuser: Next problem: The net nis master runs slink. A slink client works after shadow has been configured and +:::::::: added to /etc/shadow. A client runs partly potato, and does not work, i.e. it won't accept nis passwords. NIS itself appears to work, i.e. I can see the right owners of directories, the homedirs are right, etc. Any known incompatibilities between glibc2.1 and shadow nis? Nils -- Plug-and-Play is really nice, unfortunately it only works 50% of the time. To be specific the "Plug" almost always works. --unknown source
