Hi all,
I just built bash 4.3.29 from source. I wanted to change my root and one user

Ok, then you have to boot the CD and mount the disk. Then just edit the

Problems started yesterday. I think when changing permission on root dir.

Root login is no problem. I checked the permission of /etc / /root and set

May be it's worth it to post here those permissions?
Btw, don't forget that to access a file you need an 'x' flag set on
all directories in the path to that file including the '/' directory.
You also need an 'x' permission on a directory to be able to do chdir

Hi All,
I'm trying to implement NIS and I'm stuck.
I've set up the server on our RedHat machine and the client on my Debian
box.
When I run ypcat I get the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ypcat passwd
andrew.dixon:$1$h7CPc4pd$WilaTSJaZOPgHfvhqwVnJ.:11424:11424::/home/andrew.dixon:/bin/bash
Just figured out that this does actually work. The problem is that I had gdm
running on the
Linux box and the RedHat server logs you into runlevel 3.
I'll start to look into gdm to tell it to deal with NIS but has anyone come
across this
problem before?
thanks,
Andy
