The "getent passwd" and "finger" all worked fine. I think the problem is within the /var/yp/Makefile. I need to somehow tell it to make passwd with Non-FreeBSD passwds. i.e without the $1<bla><blah>. I read this on the newsgroup but I can not find the the "UNSECURE" line as mentioned by the author in the current /var/yp/Makefile.
I am not sure which NIS packate/errata/version contains the Non-FreeBSD support. Anyone? -----Original Message----- From: Steve Lee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 4:38 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Solaris NIS Client wont see user on Linux NIS Server never used nis. but used ldap. try this on your solaris box to see if it returns user info. "getent passwd" or can you finger a user at all in solaris from users in the nis database ?
