I suppose I should also mention that the NIS master server is a W2K3 AD controller with Services for Unix, but that doesn't seem to be involved, since a linux system on the same NIS domain appears to work properly.

Only one is necessary. You can remove the plus line from master.passwd if you're using the passwd: files nis line. With passwd: compat, the NIS tables are consulted whenever there's a + or - line in master.passwd and netgroups are used. With passwd: files nis, nis is checked if the user isn't in the local passwd file, and you can't use netgroups. Also remember to change the group: line in nsswitch.conf to match, and remove the + line from /etc/groups. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
NIS problems on FreeBSD 5.4
Greetings all! I'm trying to use FreeBSD 5.4 as an NIS client, and am encountering problems. I've followed the instructions given in the FreeBSD docs (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-nis.html) successfully, but the system does not recognize my NIS users. Running ypcat passwd shows expected output: freebsd5# ypcat passwd Administrator:Lav79IkYtvC3g:0:0::/root:/bin/bash jeremy:iZ45wDaonJWpA:500:100::/home/jeremy:/bin/bash test:vXiHWkO7dsBl.:501:100::/home/test:/bin/bash However, when I try to login as any of these 3 users, it rejects the login - even using the id command fails: freebsd5# id jeremy id: jeremy: no such user Can anyone give me some insight on why this is happening. A RedHat EL 4 installation connected to the same NIS domain works perfectly. Thanks for any help you can provide!
