I tried: 1. create 3 new users, called thinc001, thinc002 and thinc003 with their password and their home directory (userid 600+, groupid 600)
2. mkdir /etc/yp 3. tail -n3 /etc/passwd > /etc/yp/passwd 4. tail -n3 /etc/shadow > /etc/yp/shadow 5. put shadow into passwd file so that the x is replaced with the shadows encrypted password 6. put into /etc/defaultdomain the name ThinClients (same at lts.conf) 7. changed in /var/yp/Makefile a. MINUID=600, MINGID=600 b. MERGE_PASSWD=false c. MERGE_GROUP=false d. YPPWDDIR = /etc/yp e. all: passwd group rpc services # netid 8. /usr/lib/yp/ypinit -m (/var/yp/ThinClients is created with all its files) 9. start ypserv, ypbind 10 TEST: ypcat passwd (no result) ypmatch thinc passwd Can't match key thinc in map passwd.byname. same if I add -d ThinClients My /etc/yp/passwd file looks like so: # cat /etc/yp/passwd +thinc:yLxxxxxxxxxY:600:600:ThinClient000:/home/thinc:/bin/bash +thinc001:kCxxxxxxxxx6:601:600:ThinClient001:/home/thinc001:/bin/bash +thinc002:.aExxxxxxxxx:602:600:ThinClient002:/home/thinc002:/bin/bash +thinc003:ETxxxxxxxxxx6:6030:600:ThinClient003:/home/thinc003:/bin/bash What do I miss? bye Ronald -- Ronald Wiplinger, Technical Director Bright Networking Inc, http://www.2bright.net 7F, 192-1, Sec. 3, Tatung Rd., Shijr City, Taipei, Taiwan, RoC Tel.: +886 2 8647-1685, Mobile +886 915 653-452, Fax: +886 2 8647-2002 ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
