I have a Red Hat AS 2.1 machine along with a separate solaris NIS+ server. I was told by Red Hat that Linux won't read the NIS+ maps.
I ran the authconfig utility to set this Linux machine up as an NIS+ client. It created the yp.conf file which has the host name of my NIS+ server in it. I modified /etc/nsswitch.conf to so that nisplus is 3rd. in the hosts list. When the machine boots up it shows the NIS + info ok. Binding to the NIS domain: [ OK ] Listening for an NIS domain server [OK] . chkconfig shows ypbind is on. I can do a # ypcat passwd or a ypcat on any of my NIS+ tables and it lists them out. I can log into this Linux box as any NIS+ users and it logs them in ok (so it's reading the login info from the NIS+ server) and it mounts their home directory which resides on another Solaris machine so it's reading the auto_home table from the NIS+ server ok. So everything seems to be working ok as far as incorporating this machine into my NIS+ domain even though Red Hat said that it would not read the NIS maps and that I would have to add entries to the /etc/fstab file or auto_home on the Linux box if I wanted it to work. I'm just wondering if it's to good to be true that it's working. Has anyone else successfully incorporated a Red Hat machine into an NIS+ domain? -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
