Hi! DonĀ“t know if this is our problem, but after a recent ubgrade of a slink box the +::: entryies in /etc/passwd and /etc/group on this box where missing. I didnt notice this at first, as i was logged in as root, so i dont know which package caused this (base-passwd??). Anyway, editing /etc/passwd and /etc/group solved the problems with nis for me. HTH, Ramin
