I have a problem with NIS client. Let me explain the system breifly: There are a NIS server and NIS client. NIS client also has a local user which is called "local". The problem is that when NIS server is down, local user of the NIS client can not login into the NIS client, NIS client tries to connect NIS server and hangs. I suspect that there is something wrong about nsswitch.conf file which is below. Can anyone explain me what is wrong, and how can i fix it? Thanks.
