hi hope someone knows the answer to this riddle...I am trying to get NIS up and running.
1. one master, no slave...domain name is lab-nis-domain 2. Master rc.conf file contains enabling commands to start nis server as well as nis_yppasswdd. The build of the /var/yp/lab-nis-domain indicated "built with no errors" 3. client machine rc.confs contain domain name, nis_client_enable, rpcbind_enable. 4. when I run ypcat passwd from any client machine I get a list of avail passwords from the master domain... all looked good... 5. created a new user on master, ran make lab-nis-domain and it said "domain already current"...so I copied the updated master.passwd file to /var/yp and ran make again...still same message. 6. as last resort I ran ypinit -m again to rebuild the entire domain..then ran ypcat passwd from client machine and was able to see the new account. 7. MY PROBLEM: I can't log into the client machine using the new account...I have added the +::::::::: string to master.passwd and +:*:: string to group file...but still no work. any ideas?
