a while a go i posted what i was trying to do and yall told me to use NIS. so i got it set up and working (well, running at least).
i shared my groups and passwd file, but out of the 5 users, only 2 are shared properly to my NIS client. if i log onto my linux box thats running the NIS server and type "ls -l /home", i get: drwx------ 31 cjb cjb 4096 Nov 11 22:45 cjb drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 30 12:40 configs drwxrwx--- 6 root cvs 4096 Oct 31 17:43 cvsroot drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Oct 12 16:43 ftp drwx------ 3 guest guest 4096 Nov 11 22:46 guest drwx------ 11 josh josh 4096 Nov 9 17:13 josh drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16384 Oct 2 09:00 lost+found drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 23 22:33 root drwx------ 9 saul saul 4096 Oct 30 16:57 saul drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 16 00:55 shared drwx------ 5 terra terra 4096 Nov 8 23:23 terra if i log onto my linux box that is the NIS client and type "ls -l /home" i get: drwx------ 31 cjb cjb 4096 Nov 11 22:45 cjb drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 30 12:40 configs drwxrwx--- 6 root cvs 4096 Oct 31 17:43 cvsroot drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Oct 12 16:43 ftp drwx------ 3 testuser testuser 4096 Nov 11 22:46 guest drwx------ 11 terra terra 4096 Nov 9 17:13 josh drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16384 Oct 2 09:00 lost+found drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 23 22:33 root drwx------ 9 saul saul 4096 Oct 30 16:57 saul drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 16 00:55 shared drwx------ 5 josh josh 4096 Nov 8 23:23 terra notice the dirs guest, josh, and terra have their owner/group messed up. what is wrong? why is it doing this? thanks for the help, christopher P.S. the home partition is mounted directly into the filesystem by the machine running the NIS server. the NIS client machine mounts /home via NFS. P.S.S. the NIS client machine's passwd file does not contain any entries 500 and above. i.e. the client machine is accually reading user/group info over NIS and not using its own passwd file. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
