Okay, I'm not getting any answers out of comp.os.linux.networking, which is where the documentation for NIS tells you to go for questinos/problems. Maybe someone on here knows the answer to my problem.
I have two RH7.3 servers running, one as a NIS master, and the other as a client. (ypbind/ypserv/yp-tools are all from RPMs) The client has all the maps transferred from the master. When I do a 'ypcat passwd' on the client, I get the correct information, however none of those users can authenticate on the client. Can anyone help me figure this out? Also, on the NIS documentation webpage (http://www.linux-nis.org/nisplus/), it says to install the crontabs on the client that are needed to keep the maps up to date, however those commands aren't in the client RPMs, they're in the server RPMs, forcing one to install all three packages on a client NIS machine as well. -- W | I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere. +-------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley M.
