Hi all.
I have completely started over, having found several things
in my "search for NIS" :=0
Here's what I've done, and where I am...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the SERVER:
/etc/hosts content:
127.0.0.1 localhost.test.com localhost
/etc/host.conf content: (yes, I want it to use DNS and not host)
bind
nis
/etc/group content:
<standard group files>
+:*::
/etc/passwd
<about 1300 entries>
+:*::::::::
/etc/rc.conf changes:
hostname="nismst.test.com"
nisdomainname="test.com"
nis_client_enable="YES"
nis_client_flags="-s"
nis_ypset_enable="NO"
nis_ypset_flags=""
nis_server_enable="YES"
nis_server_flags=""
nis_yppasswdd_enable="YES"
nis_yppasswdd_flags="-v -a -t /etc/master.passwd"
/var/yp/Makefile modified to use /etc/master.passwd:
at line 108, replace
MASTER = $(YPDIR)/master.passwd
with
MASTER = $YPSRCDIR)/master.passwd
To create the domain: in /var/yp,
make target test
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the CLIENT:
Magic cookies in:
/etc/passwd
/etc/group
/etc/hosts
Contents of /etc/host.conf:
bind
nis
/etc/rc.conf:
nis_client_enable="YES"
nis_client_flags="-s"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Behavior:
SERVER: Everything appears normal. All logins work,
ypcat works for all map files tried, ypmatch works, passwd
changes local as well as NIS maps.
CLIENT: No NIS logins work. passwd works correctly: it
both recognizes a bad password (when prompting for "old"
passwd) and successfully changes the NIS passwd. Having
changed it via the client, I can use the new password to login
on the server.
ypcat/ypmatch appear to be working fine.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh Help...
Jane,
Frustrated & grumpy... :(
