2)Make sure the the passwd, shadow, groups and automount entries in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file have "nis" and not just "nisplus" ...
This #2 has to be done on ALL the machines that are going to use NIS.. otherwise your clients will never use NIS even though ypcat will show you all the maps
hope this helps!

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.
