You must: a) have a modified "master.passwd" located in /var/yp. Modified meaning no system accounts, or root. only the list of users you wish to propagate. b) uncomment the 'UNSECURE = "True"' line in the /var/yp/makefile.dist prior to running ypinit. Now running ypmatch on the linux client produces the correct information in the correct format. thanks to all of you who were gearing up to answer this... --jason --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok. forget the feedback.
