preventing amd from fetch files from nis server
Hi folks, i have a set of computer on my network that is configured as a nis client. The nis server is working 100% ok, and it is serving a map called amd.home. But for a particular client machine, while it should retrieve the list of users/groups/etc from the nis server i don't want it to retrieve the amd.home from the nis server, but instead, uses the amd.home from /etc/amd/amd.home. Is that possible ? Do you know if it may be done? Thanks in advance.

While the full-on NIS might be useful, something like login_ldap would at least allow authentication to stay synchronized. Simply pulling/syncing the LDAP entries every so often could supplement this into a usable, if far from elegant, solution. (The same sort of mechanism could be used to sync a NIS server from a LDAP server, come to think of it.) Joachim

Personally, I suspect the OP has a specific interest in implementing NIS. Through NIS, OpenBSD can obtain the information it would otherwise get from the password file (i.e. user entries). IIRC, there is no alternative 'nsswitch-like' tool available for OpenBSD. If I'm wrong on this, feel free to correct me (you'd make me happy). As nice a tool as login_ldap may be, it still requires you to add such entries, limiting scalability. Unfortunately, I do not know of an LDAP-based NIS working on OpenBSD, so this probably isn't too much help to the OP either. Sorry for wasting the bandwidth. Cheers, Rogier -- If you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there.

NIS server
I wonder if some here knows a NIS server (ypserv) that uses openldap as information source! If so, please, let me know. I am desperately searching for a nis server that uses ldap. Thanks in advance.

FreeBSD NIS client X OpenBSD NIS server: yppasswd
Hi, I have set up a NIS server using OpenBSD and a NIS client using FreeBSD. I can authenticate without problems. But when I try to change a user password with yppasswd on the FreeBSD client, after retyping the new password, after a somewhat long period, I get an error like: yppasswd: pam_chauthtok(): error in service module and the change fails. Now if I instead use the following command: yppasswd -h `ypwhich` It works immediatelly. With an OpenBSD client, it always work. So I guess the FreeBSD box is trying to talk to the rpc.ypasswdd from another server. I would be thankful to anyone who can help to find what is going on.
