What login method is failing? Login from console? ssh? other?
does /var/log/secure give you anything as far as error messages? It
should. Is kerberos involved here or do you have hashed
passwords in the NIS map?

Normally I do all the pieces normally but I followed your guidance:
authconfig --enablenis ‹nisserver=(server.name.goes.here)
‹nisdomain=(mydomain) --update
As root, id on one of my test accounts worked.
As root, su on the same test account worked.
³nis² has indeed been through the /etc/nsswitch.conf file all along.

did you go into the system setup utility and enable NIS authentication?
(or use authconfig from the command line). That's the best way
to ensure that PAM is configured correctly to use NIS and that's likely
the problem.
(does "id" on a yp user name work?)
(does "su" to a yp user name work?)
does "nis" appear in /etc/nsswitch.conf? (setup will do that).

We are in the process of migrating to SL 6.5 from Mandriva and things
have
been manageable until (of course) today.
The NIS server is still under Mandriva (yp-serve is 2.22, ypbind is
1.29.91)
On the client to be in SL 6.5 the ypbind is 1.20.4.
NIS works on the fellow Mandriva machine clients but when used on the SL
machine
The username and groups get carried over and match the uids
ypcat gives the correct responses for the arguments passwd and groups
BUT
I get permission denied errors when logging in. (That is sort of a deal
breaker).
Beyond this point is there any troubleshooting advise here?
Thanks Much,
Bill
