I am running a SLES10 server under z/VM. This server also runs NIS client. Some of my users cannot login to the server using their NIS login name, some can. Actually, they do get logged in but the login does not complete and ends with a message saying "Connection to servername closed." For those that do complete a login, if they try to su to any of the available root user names, it does not change the userid to root. If they give the wrong password for the root username, the system correctly detects it and denies the switch. There are no error messages to indicate why this is happening. The contents of the /etc/passwd file are similar to /etc/passwd files on other servers in the shop, since they are basically clones. The server has been rebooted with no effect on this issue.
Any thoughts on where to go from here? ________________________________ Judson West Systems Programming Team All words above are not actual sentences but random letters, spaces and the occasional punctuation.
