Greetings, Does anyone have shadow passwords working under NIS? on a default potato install?
I have two freshly squeezed potato boxes, on which I am trying to set up NIS (server, client). I have followed the setup documentation (which is good) '/usr/doc/nis/nis.debian.howto.gz' except that shadow passwords are not working correctly.. I can ypcat all of the other maps, except for shadow. (This is expected as there is some encryption happening.) I need to have an /etc/shadow file on the client. If I shift a user to the end (after the +:::::::: line) then the system fails to get the authentication information. (Can't log in!) No changes have been made to any of the NIS configuration files.
