I am running NIS with Solaris, AIX, RH 6.2, 7.3, 8.0, and 9 clients with a RH 6.2 master and RH 8 slaves. All works fine for all clients including the RH 9 ones. So it is possible. For starters, what is the 'passwd:' line in nsswitch.conf? What is the platform for the NIS server? client? Have you turned on debugging of ypbind? Any insight in the logs? You say you cannot su to a user with a NIS account; what are the messages that su gives in /var/log/messages? What is the message you get in the terminal window? You said, I believe, that you cannot ssh in as a NIS user; what are the log messages from sshd? Have you turned on debugging of sshd? To be honest, the only time I have had problems with RH NIS clients was a couple of years back with RH 7.x (7.2? Do not recall off-hand). There was a bug in pam authentication that caused failure with DES 'crypt()' generated passwords longer than 8 characters. I could log in, but only if I typed in the first 8 characters of the password, only. At one point I was using a Solaris (2.6) NIS server and had problems with HP-UX clients; that was an RPC version problem and moving the NIS server to RH Linux fixed the problem. Give us a bit more insight into your setup and then perhaps we can resolve this. - rick -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
