NIS problem



[ Please Cc, I'm not subscribed to -user right now. ]

Hello, everyone,

Can someone give me a hand with this NIS problem?

apache:~# su - claviola
su: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info.
(Ignored)
claviola@apache:~$ 

This also makes me unable to login as a NIS user, so it is not just a
silly warning. I get this on /var/log/auth.log:

Jul 24 18:24:48 apache PAM_unix[21531]: check pass; user unknown
Jul 24 18:24:48 apache PAM_unix[21531]: authentication failure; LOGIN(uid=0) -> claviola for login service
Jul 24 18:24:51 apache login[21531]: FAILED LOGIN (1) on `tty6' FOR `claviola', Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info.

Note that I've read, re-read, searched Google, and done just about everything
I could to make sure there was nothing wrong here. I compared my config
with at least a couple of other NIS clients, which are working perfectly.

Any ideas?
