I am trying to set up NIS on my Debian Woody SPARC systems.

Following nis.debian.howto using shadow passwords I end up
with this problem. I cannot login on any virtual console on
a NIS client host.

If I login as root on the NIS client host, and try su - joe
(assuming joe is in the NIS master host users) I get this
behaviour:

su - joe
su: Authentication service cannt retrieve authentication info.
(Ignored)

but I het the user Joe account, with the right UID/GID, the
right username translation from UID, the right group name
translation from GID...

I wonder what is wrong? How do I "debug" this to track down my error?

Cheers,

/ChJ
