What does /etc/passwd look like? I've seen this happen in our environment when a +entry in /etc/password is above the equivalent user account. Like if "+root..." or "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" were above the default root account. Incidentally, my /etc/nsswitch.conf looks like this and does work appropriately with NIS: group: compat group_compat: nis hosts: files dns networks: files passwd: compat passwd_compat: nis -Proto _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
