NIS setup
Just wondering if anyone knows the answer to this (probably) stupid question:
I have two boxes, one is set up as a NIS server (ypserv running) the other as a
NIS client (ypbind finds the server OK). I have users home directories mounted,
I believe with the correct permissions. Shadow passwords are not being used on
the server. I can 'ypcat passwd.byname' fine. I have the following lines in
/etc/nsswitch.conf:
passwd: compat
group: compat
shadow: compat
passwd_compat: nis files
group_compat: nis files
shadow_compat: nis files
...
networks: nis
I can log in fine on the NIS server as a user that is in
/var/yp/domainname/passwd.byuser but not on the client. Is there some essential
piece of information I'm missing on setting this up?
Cheers
Tom
