 What is your ftp server ? If your ftp server is proftpd, you have to add
 the following line to /etc/proftpd.conf in order to have proftpd work
 with NIS passwords :

 PersistentPasswd off


I use the standard one that's included in netbase (I think).
ftp stream  tcp nowait  root/usr/sbin/tcpd  
/usr/sbin/in.ftpd

I guess that i could change to proftpd if that is working.

Maybe there is something similar to add to the other ftp servers
configuration file...

I have a problem with ftp to debian when it is configured to use nis.
