Greetings, To get Netscape movemail working on my NIS server, I did:
adduser hazelsct mail so NS could write a lock file to /var/spool/mail. However, when I try to do this on the NIS clients, I get # adduser hazelsct mail Adding user hazelsct to group mail... usermod: hazelsct not found in /etc/passwd adduser: `usermod -G mail hazelsct' returned error code 6. Aborting. Cleaning up. Of course hazelsct isn't in /etc/passwd, because hazelsct isn't a local user! Same goes for group floppy, to write to the floppy disk, and numerous others. How do I set things up so that either it will recognize group memberships on the NIS server, or else allow me to add NIS users to local groups? Do I need to eliminate local groups like floppy, mail, etc? System info: latest potato on x86. TIA, -Adam P.
