NIS authentication problems

Hi,

I'm trying to set up NIS with the simplest setup: one server and one
client. I've followed the procedure in the handbook, altering
{login,auth}.conf as suggested (BTW: how do I know what format are my
passwords stored in?). ypcat passwd shows me the user list, but I can't
log in (Login incorrect).

What am I doing wrong or what could I be missing?
How can I debug this?

tks

I forgot to rebuild the passwd database after adding the +:: line

sorry

Make sure you have a plus line in your passwd and group files.

/etc/group:  +:::
/etc/master.passwd:  +:

Does id somenisuser work?
