If this has been answered, smack me and tell me where to find the answer -- I can't..... Built a new 3.1-RELEASE machine to replace a 2.8-STABLE one -- moved all the important stuff over, and ran into a problem with NIS: As "mike" (my normal user) on the new box, "finger kathleen" works fine -- returns all the user data from the NIS server without any problems. When "mike" is su'd "root", "finger kathleen" returns "no such user". But when "mike" is su'd "root", "ypcat passwd" returns the full NIS password file as it should. Can't log in as "kathleen", either. Is this something dumb I'm not noticing, or is a "feature"?
