I just discovered I'm having the same problem here. 'su' doesn't work, but 'login' does. Hmm. This is probably a bug in su (or libc). Did you resolve the problem?

Ok, I tested it and the 'su' from shellutils-1.16-2 works, but the 'su' from shellutils-1.16-4 doesn't (from unstable). I filed a bug report.

I tested the 'su' from shellutils-1.16-2 and it didn't work for me. I believe the problem is a mismatch between libc and the Debian NIS package. For me nothing works, not only the system utilities like su and ls, but also my MTA (smail and exim) which cannot see the users and aliases defined in the NIS maps. -- Pedro I.

Re: NIS is broken in Debian 1.3!
Both the server and the client machines have libc5 version 5.4.23-4 and libc6 version 2.0.3-4. Let me give you an example of what's happening on the client machine: ~> ypmatch rover passwd rover:V/8DB9sycYRnM:1017:1017::/home/rover:/bin/bash ~> su rover su: user rover does not exist However, the /etc/passwd file in the client machine ends with the line +:: Shouldn't this work? So, the NIS binding process is ok, but all system utilities (like su, ls, passwd, etc.) in the client machine are unable to see the NIS maps.

I think he's right Jim - I did a fresh install, made sure I was using the latest versions of libc and the like and I can't setup a _slave NIS server_. I can however set up an NIS client. What makes it even more perculiar is that I have a Debian 1.1 system that's the master NIS server, which I upgraded to 1.2 and now, to 1.3 - that works. I also had an NIS slave server that was Debian 1.2, which I upgraded to 1.3 and that works fine too. However, as I said, a 'fresh' install of 1.3 (and making sure there's nothing later in bo) I can't setup a slave server.

NIS is broken in Debian 1.3!
Hello, I asked this once and I got no answers. I know there's at least one more person in this list with the same problem but we've been unable to solve it. The problem: With the lattest versions (unstable) of everything, the NIS clients are unable to read the maps from the NIS server. No errors are reported, the ypbind daemon seems to run well, even "ypcat -x" returns the proper answer, but the fact is, the client can't see the server's user accounts, groups or aliases files. NOTE: In my configuration, the NIS server is Debian 1.3 with two clients, one Debian 1.2 and one Debian 1.3. The lattest has never worked but the former was just running ok ... until I installed Debian 1.3. I don't believe I have any problem with my configuration (all the "+" entries in the passwd, group and aliases files) and the ypbind daemon connects just fine to the server. So, Does anybody have a NIS installation running ok with Debian 1.3? I would appreciate if any one can help me figure out what's going on. -- Pedro I.
