Thanks Anders, The system uses NIS, a client.
I happened to have a session logged on at the time, and I could access the NIS servers. I did also restart ypbind, and it got started okay. As explained in my earlier post to Daniel Gomez, I ran a verify on pam, pam-32bit, pam-modules, pam-modules-32bit and yast2-pam, no specific differences reported apart from pam_pwcheck.conf. The latter has only 1 line, nothing obvious...

This error comes from PAM, and as far as I know it can mean one of two things: either the password or username was wrong, or PAM failed to contact the password source (for example failed to read /etc/shadow, or failed to contact the LDAP server for some reason) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
