I don't know what you mean by: 'Do your /etc/passwd and /etc/group have the +::::: entries in them (with an appropriate number of colons)?" in /etc/passwd or /etc/group I don't see any entries that just have +::::: I do see a number of entries with a : delimited format, but none for barney (one of the users from NIS). Local accounts work as expected I should add (my account is local) and I do see it in /etc/passwd and listed as a member of some groups in /etc/groups. If you let me know of what exactly you mean by +::::: I can tell you if I can see it. -- NIS is broken since recent feisty updates https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119088 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
