RE: NIS Client Problem

["Roland Dunn" <roland@dunn.co.uk>]

See /etc/nsswitch.conf?  The order of the options defines the order in
which they're used.

>> Thanks. I do very much wish to do this. So, I've altered my
/etc/nsswitch.conf to look like:

# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
# If you have the `glibc-doc' and `info' packages installed, try:
# `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file.

passwd:         nis files
group:          nis files
shadow:         nis files

hosts:          files dns
networks:       files

protocols:      db files
services:       db files
ethers:         db files
rpc:            db files

netgroup:       nis

>> I've altered passwd, group, shadow to have "nis files" instead of
"compat". However, this doesn't seem to have had the desired effect. 

Thanks, Roland.
