Dear gentleman, i have setted my NIS server using openbsd 4.1. In order to get things easier to manage, i decide the have a directory a part for my input file for nis database building process.
So, i change the /var/yp/`domainname`/Makefile variables the point to the amd directory and etc directory from "/etc/amd" and "/etc" to "/asd/etc/amd" and "/asd/etc". I have written and common input file for nis on those new directories, like hosts, netgroup, etc .... More specially, the master.passwd and group files. I have populated the last two too. When i issue "make" inside /var/yp/`domainname`. The databases are built ok, no problem. But things get strange, when i try to login into a client nis on my network. Although i have setted a password for a nis user in /asd/etc/master.passwd. That password is not allowed neither on the client not the server box. But if after typing the login, i hit return and return i am able to login without a password; what is the equivalent of a password of "". Does anybody have any ideia where i am mistaken?
