I guess you just have to add +:: in /etc/passwd; + in
/etc/shadow and it will be okay.

 I've been running into a problem with NIS on Debian -- everything looks like it 
 should be working, but logins fail with pam saying user unknown.
 
 Here's an example -- I can change the password, so clearly NIS is working, yet at 
 the end the login fails:
 
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# yppasswd student
 Changing NIS account information for student on graywhale.
 Please enter root password:
 Changing NIS password for student on graywhale.
 Please enter new password:
 Please retype new password:
 
 The NIS password has been changed on graywhale.
 
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# su student
 su: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info.
 (Ignored)
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root$
 
 Here's what my auth.log says when I try ssh jellyfish -l student:
 
 Aug 20 01:02:51 jellyfish ssh(pam_unix)[21143]: check pass; user unknown
 Aug 20 01:02:51 jellyfish ssh(pam_unix)[21143]: authentication failure; logname= 
 uid=0 euid=0 tty=NODEVssh ruser= rhost=graywhale
 
 I saw someone post the identical problem to debian-users (and receive no reply), so 
 I guess it affects a number of people.
 
 Oh, and I should mention: I had this working! Late July, after the last nis upgrade. 
 I did some other upgrade, no idea what, and got the problem. ypcat passwd and all 
 kinds of other NIS map commands work fine. 
 
 This is an updated Debian sid running nis 3.9-6.3. I'm setting this up for a high 
 school lab (remotely), and we're all ready to go aside from this.
 
 Please cc me -- any suggestions much appreciated! I'm happy to suppy more 
 information.
 
 Cheers,
 Peter

Wrong. This was even deprecated when I started using Linux in 1996.

No, nis is just broken on sid. See e.g. http://bugs.debian.org/204682


To the original poster: If you want really working code, take woody.
Security updates are also only for woody. It is appreciated if you
help testing and bug fixing, but it is not recommended for production
use.

And please remember - sid is the boy next door who destroys toys.

Thanks for the help on the NIS problem -- it's a known bug in sid (glibc/libc6 most 
likely).

Sid sometimes gets mistaken for the boy next door who destroys toys, quite unfairly.
He's the guy in the choir, with a very occasional spitball.

Cheers,
Peter
