I am running Red Hat 7.2 on multiple machines. For reference, they are using the versions of ypbind, yp-tools and ypserv that come with 7.2. My main use of NIS is to allow for SSO to multiple machines. However, these machines do scientific computation and and I generally want them to have a home directory on each machine they log into so logfile traffic doesn't traverse the network. This also limits the amount of NFS mounts each machine is required to have. According to the NIS white paper, you can specify on the local machine using the passwd file a home directory that overrides the NIS server default. An example would be:
+username::::::/localsystem/username And this works great if you login via console, yet when you login via telnet or ssh it reverts to the NIS server's home directory for the user which is not NFS mounted on these machines. Is this a difference in how PAM deals with console vs remote login? Any help is greatly appreciated! _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
