I'm having problems with the authentication part. There appears to be no PAM module for NIS, therefore wu-ftpd, telnetd and others can't authenticate the user. Passwd via NIS and chpass works just fine (if you are root, since the user can't log in on the remote computer). I've tried searching for instructions, finding none. Could someone please help?
