pam doesn't see nis
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

Re: pam doesn't see nis
I guess you just have to add +:: in /etc/passwd; + in /etc/shadow and it will be okay.

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. Cheers, Andi -- http://home.arcor.de/andreas-barth/ PGP 1024/89FB5CE5 DC F1 85 6D A6 45 9C 0F 3B BE F1 D0 C5 D1 D9 0C
