So how does Linux authenticate the password? 'ypwhich -m' shows passwd.byname, passwd.byuid, master.passwd.byname, master.passwd.byuid but of course there is no shadow.byname or shadow.byuid. I believe that I have the passwd and group files set up correctly on the Linux machines, and I don't really know where to look next.
