Hi
I use NIS om my network (CentOS4.6). When an update on a map occurs
(home directory changed in /etc/passwd for instance), I run make -C
/var/yp/ and check the result on a client. On the client I use "ypcat
passwd" and find indeed that the update has propagated (the clients run
ypbind service). On the client I have configured /etc/nsswitch.conf with :
passwd: files nis
shadow: files nis
group: files nis
The problem is however that on the client, if I try to use the new data,
it still uses the old one. For instance "cd ~john" still directs me to
the old path instead of to the updated path (as correctly reported by
"ypcat passwd").
To solve it I need to restart the ypserv service on the nis server for
every change.
Does anyone now what could be the problem or where I should look?
Apparently the OS gets password and user info using another way than the
ypcat tool.
(ypserv-2.13-18,ypbind-1.17.2-13)
Thanks,
Theo
