I am having problems configuring NIS in Debian 1.3. I set one up as
master and one as client, no shadow passwd. From the client, I can do
"ypcat passwd", and see NIS distributed users. But when I try to log in
as one of the NIS users, it just does not work. I think I am having a
passwd problem

I agree. The general admin tool would just provide centralized access to

We want to package all of the GNOME tools. For now, they should go in
experimental because the libraries are changing on a day-to-day basis,
and they have their own version of GTK at the moment that breaks the GIMP.
There are enough GNOME tools and libraries that lots of people can get
involved. Ri

Does anyone out there know of a way to prevent a Debian box from being
able to boot into single user mode? We have removed any sort of delay=

get into that mode, but does not prevent it.
