Check your logs? The users should be able to log in as long as their shells and home directories exist. If you didn't use "authconfig" to set up your NIS service on the client, you may have missed something. Run "authconfig" and set up NIS there. That should configure everything properly. > Also, on the NIS documentation webpage (http://www.linux-nis.org/nisplus/), > it says to install the crontabs on the client that are needed to keep the maps > up to date, however those commands aren't in the client RPMs, they're in the > server RPMs, forcing one to install all three packages on a client NIS machine > as well. The crontabs are only for NIS slave servers, not for clients. NIS clients only need ypbind (and I suggest nscd, as well) and portmap running. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
