Hi List, I was told there are no bigger problems using nis with Linux as server so i tried to configure my Freebsd6.0 to use my Linux nis server. (Linux 2.6.12 Debian sarge ypserv 2.14
I followed the advises from: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-nis.html on how to configure fbsd as nis client. I used "vipw" to change the passwd file and added the correct number of ":". ypcat passwd works fine - ypbind is running rc.conf: nis_client_enable="YES" nisdomainname="seifert.lan" rpcbind_enable="YES" nsswitch.conf: group: compat group_compat: nis passwd: compat passwd_compat: nis The problem is I can't login as an user that wasn't locally added. User foo exists on the nis server. On all other machines I can login as foo without any problems. My freebsd denies access for user foo. On the consoel with "login incorrect" and when I try to login using ssh I get an error: Dec 12 19:56:49 miraculix sshd[609]: error: PAM: authentication error for illegal user foo from stronghold.seifert.lan bye, Julian `alamar` Seifert -- Where patience fails, force prevails. gpg fingerprint: 435D DDDA 251B 9D70 2F72 78E0 AA5F 11F4 A4ED 451E
