Re: [Cooker] anybody else get the nis working?
Sorry, I don't have linux in front of me right now but you can fix it by opening up the ypserve Makefile and scroll downing somewhere around 3/4 of the way down. You will see sections that say passwd.userid and group.userid (or something very similar). Once you find the group. section there are two parts. The top half is if you merge the shadow or something with it and then the bottom half is if you don't and thats the part with the extra @ symbols in place. By looking at the error messages and the first set of group.userid you can locate the wild @'s. If I can remember to look at the file while at work I'll be more specific. Hope this helps.

any specific info on the yp Makefile? with the 2 extra "@", or is this updated in one of the cooker rpm's (yp*.rpm) to where i should just update with that particular rpm. etc. On Mon, 07 Feb 2000, you wrote: > Ya, I got NIS working with Mandrake 7.0.

Re: [Cooker] anybody else get the nis working?
ok. thanks for the verification. sort of knew that i was starting to "bark up a tree" when it didn't compile or anything. btw: i did get some of it working (w/o fixing the error in the makefile...which is something that'll i'll try and do "make" again). like you said, is seeing the database (my user and password when you do teh "check" statement on my computers "user etcetcetc..." (ack forgot) but it just denies teh password when try to log in. Also, after i got the domain set and it was working partially, i lost contact with my ftp and httpd on the server end. is nis suppose to disable httpd/ftp when running? when i rebooted teh client into win98, it did find teh httpd and ftp sites fine. i know it's a security risk to do this type of setup. thanx.

Re: [Cooker] anybody else get the nis working?
Ya, I got NIS working with Mandrake 7.0. It sure was a bitch though because they wrote the makefile wrong. You get that "Domain not bound" error when you do not have your NIS database built. You have to type /usr/lib/yp/ypinit -m You then follow the instructions and it will attempt to build your database. Unless yours is different then mine, it gave me two 'Command not found' errors while trying to build the group part. Its because there are two extra @ symbols in the makefile that shouldn't be there. After you remove them it will build correctly. Then I had the problem where the clients knew the server was there and that the password and group data bases existed but it wouldn't let anyone login. After playing with it a bit I found that you have to set merge the shadow with the password to 'true' in the makefile as well. Not sure about the groups tho. You might have to do those too. See the NIS howto for more information. I had to read it like 5 times before I finally understood what it was saying.
[Cooker] anybody else get the nis working?
keep getting an error with the ypbind. domain not bound (error). curious. one stated they had to reinstall was the only way to resolve some errors.go figure. i do already have nfs up and running so everythings configured in the host files (etc) for local access. -- Sent from: Lattitude (deg):32.7130 Longitude (deg):-117.1530 Altitude (ft): 410.0 GMT to Local (hrs): -8.0 (daylight savings enabled) Created with Linux-Mandrake 7.0! http://www.linux-mandrake.com/ Currently Beta Testing Mandrake Ver >7.0
