Package: passwd
Version: 1:4.1.1-6
If I try to create a new user account using a command
line like
useradd -c "John User" -b /home -m -g users john
then john becomes a local-only user, even though the host
to run useradd is the master NIS server. The new /etc/passwd
looks like this:
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
daemon:x:1:1:daemon:/usr/sbin:/bin/sh
bin:x:2:2:bin:/bin:/bin/sh
sys:x:3:3:sys:/dev:/bin/sh
:
:
nagios:x:108:112::/var/log/nagios:/bin/false
john:x:55004:100:John User:/home/john:/bin/bash
+admin1::::::
+admin2::::::
+:*:::::/etc/NoShell
guest:x:501:65534:Guest Account:/home/guest:/bin/bash
admin1:x:502:0:Admin1:/home/admin1:/bin/bash
admin2:x:503:0:Admin2:/home/admin2:/bin/bash
user1:x:1001:100:Erich User:/home/erich:/bin/bash
:
:
usern:x:1111:100:Charly User:/home/charly:/bin/bash
The new user "john" is added _before_ the first NIS compat entry,
instead of being appended to passwd. /var/yp/Makefile ignores
anything before the compat entries, i.e. John got a local account
on our NIS server only. This is not useful.
