NIS authontication problem.
Hello every body; In our department we are going to use a 5.1 Stable FreeBSD, and it must run NIS client to authonticate the users through a Linux NIS server. The ypbind works well and when I do ypcat passwd I get the enteries in the passwd of the NIS server. I added the correct lines to passwd.master and group according to the handbook. But no user can log in and in the /var/log/auth.log it apears that the password is not corect. The students here would be very happy to be able to use the BSD Shell, and I thank you in advance. Yours, Mohammad H. Falaki. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I haven't tried integrating non-BSD'ish machines into one of my NIS domains, but it occurs to me that the /etc/shadow vs /etc/master.passwd difference could cause /etc/passwd to propogate without actually distributing the passwords. You might want to investigate compatibility modes and so forth. -T -- Speak the truth. That is always much easier, and is often the most powerful argument. - Bene Gesserit Axiom ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you edited passwd.master directly, you may need to run pwd_mkdb to rebuild the spwd.db and pwd.db database files that the system uses. The vipw command does this automatically.
