Hi, I have this problem that popped up a day or two ago. I have a couple of Linux boxes here. Box A serves as the NIS master. Box B is an NIS slave and it runs all the necessary NIS software, ypbind etc. It was working just fine until this morning when I tried to login to Box B with a valid login ID and password and I got the "login incorrect" message. Now, it was working just fine and I don't remember changing anything (perhaps I did, but I don't remember). I tried ypwhich and ypcat and all responded as expected (normal working order). I noticed that I could FTP into Box B without any problems. (At least that tells me that I am not stupid enough to be dealing with a simple "incorrect password" problem). Also I noticed that all the user home directories now have numeric ID's for their user and group owners. I also tried restarting ypbind, to no avail. I also checked hosts.allow and hosts.deny and they are both just empty files. Oh, Box B is running Redhat 5.0 with kernel 2.0.32. Could someone shed some light on this matter asap? Thanks for your help, Lei
