Try adding a test user with: pw useradd -Y -y /var/yp/master.passwd

Try logging into the master with the new user. Success? Try the

ok, thx. tried that...no dice...after adding the user with pw...I had
to
do a passwd testuser and add a password. could not log client though.
I
am trying to open a ssh connection from master to clientany other
ideas?
Was that passwd or yppasswd? After the yppasswd, you will need to run
make in /var/yp to propagate the change.

Hi Mike, thx for helping...seems it works now..here's what I did/learned.
I mirrored the rc.conf of all of my clients in my lab AND touched all
master.passwd files with vipw instead of vi I can log into all of them
now with the testuser account. Some more things I learned (correct me if I
am wrong)
1. always use vipw if you have to mess with master.passwd
True
2. the order of what you call in rc.conf is important (I still don't know
what f order that is supposed to be, but it seemed to make a
difference.
3. after changing mapped files, you need to manually run make
=/etc/XXX nisdomain to udpate the files.
4. per your email below...I made the account using your string, and then
did a passwd testuser to add a password. should i have used yppassword?
From the yppasswd man page: If a user exists in the NIS password database but does not
exist locally, passwd automatically switches into ``yppasswd'' mode. If the specified
user does not exist in either the local password database of the NIS password maps,
passwd returns an error.
My reply with the pw useradd string should have been :
pw useradd testuser -m -Y -y /var/yp/master.passwd
omit -m if you don't want to build the users home folder.
hope someone else is gaining from this as well...
thx
