Hi!

I am aware, that this bug is 8 years old, and a lot happened in
meantime.

Can you please check your issue with fgetty_0.7-2?  I have little
knowledge about NIS, so if bug persist, I could only ask for help.
But does it persist?

Bug#426359: fgetty: checkpassword error for nis account

[Arvind Marathe]

Package: fgetty
Version 0.6-4

My debian machine is a nis-client. When i try to login using a nis username and
passwd on tty1, it says:
checkpassword: wrong password
This started happening recently after i did an 'apt-get dist-upgrade', so i
think this might be happening with the upgraded version of fgetty. Earlier i
could login using nis accounts on tty1. (And i have not installed a separate
checkpassword package, so it is the one shipped with fgetty) Note that on xdm, i
can login using nis accounts, so it is not a nis configuration problem. Have
attached the contents of /etc/inittab below.

Thanks and regards,
Arvind

ps: am facing a similar problem on a ubuntu machine using fgetty

Bug#426359: fgetty: checkpassword error for nis account

[Arvind Marathe]

Additional info: If i comment out the lines for fgetty on tty1, tty2 and tty3 in
/etc/inittab and uncomment the lines for getty in the same file, i can login on
tty1,2,3 using nis account. So the problem is definitely with fgetty
checkpassword. (Same behaviour is also observed for the ubuntu machine.)

 Package: fgetty
 Version 0.6-4

 My debian machine is a nis-client. When i try to login using a nis username 
 and
 passwd on tty1, it says:
 checkpassword: wrong password
 This started happening recently after i did an 'apt-get dist-upgrade', so i
 think this might be happening with the upgraded version of fgetty. Earlier i
 could login using nis accounts on tty1. (And i have not installed a separate
 checkpassword package, so it is the one shipped with fgetty) Note that on 
 xdm, i
 can login using nis accounts, so it is not a nis configuration problem. Have
 attached the contents of /etc/inittab below.
