Well,
files should always be first, so NIS settings are used second to local settings.
This is for security reasons more than anything (for /etc/aliases it does not
matter but for passwd and shadow it is more important) Also, I do not have an
/etc/hosts.conf file, is this something I must create
manually?
Thx,

I think, the line
in /etc/nsswitch .conf should be
aliases: nis files
and not
aliases: files nis .
and also check /etc/hosts.conf for the order of
lookups.

Subject: RH 8.0 not using NIS for
/etc/aliases
I cannot for the
life of me get Red Hat 8.0 to use NIS for alias resolution. Our master NIS
server is Solaris 8. The aliases are defined there and work from all solaris
clients. When I try to send mail to an alias on the RH8.0 machine, it says
user unknown.
Here is the
aliases definition on the NIS master:
weblogic_team:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Here is
/etc/nsswitch.conf on the RH 8.0 client:
aliases: files
nis
I rebuilt the
aliases database on the RH 8.0 client (/usr/lib/sendmail -bi) I am not sure
if this is necessary (it is not on the solaris clients)
I have restarted
ypbind several times. ypbind is working, I can su to users only defined in
NIS.
Is anyone using
NIS for alias resolution?
Thanks,
CC
