Unfortunately I did not make any notes on the procedure I used. I think it was just: - create an account on nis server with gecos containing non-ascii - set "passwd: nis" in /etc/nsswitch.conf on nis client - try to login to nis client on console or via ssh However I cannot replicate the login problem anymore. I wonder if I forgot to change /bin/tcsh (which doesn't exist on my linux boxes) to /bin/bash when I tested previously. > - Does the 'id' command works for the accounts using non-ascii chars? I don't know how to login to an account that has non-ascii characters in it so I can't test that. > - Could you please run the ypcat command using: > 'LC_ALL=en_GB.ISO-8859-1 LANG=en_GB.ISO-8859-1 ypcat' > (note that you may have to generate the corresponding locale) This works. -jonathan -- Jonathan H N Chin | deputy computer | Newton Institute, Cambridge, UK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | systems manager | tel/fax: +44 1223 767091/330508 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
