Anyone with a bit of NIS saviness care to help me? I've got a FBSD5.2 machine that is connected to a larger network of suns and linux boxen. Accounts are coordinated via yellow pages and I've managed to get the FBSD box's NIS setup so that I can log in as one of those users.
The problem is that it appears that I can't SU to root from a user that exists in the NIS map, but not locally. I've added that user to /etc/group (wheel) but I get: phoenix:~ su root Password: su: Sorry phoenix:~ id uid=9876(jlk23) gid=20(staff) groups=20(staff), 0(wheel), 14(sysadmin) phoenix:~ grep jlk23 /etc/group wheel:*:0:root,joe,jlk23 phoenix:~ ypcat passwd | grep jlk23 jlk23:XXXX:9876:20:Joe Karthauser:/users/jlk23:/local/bin/tcsh Any ideas?
