In a computer lab at work... From rc.conf in my master server: portmap_enable="YES" nfs_server_enable="YES" mountd_flags="-r" nisdomainname="nemesis" nis_server_enable="YES" nis_yppasswdd_enable="YES" #nis_client_enable="YES" ls -la of /var/yp: drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Nov 7 13:36 . drwxr-xr-x 26 root wheel 512 Sep 10 14:55 .. -r-------- 1 root wheel 18448 Nov 7 13:35 Makefile -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 18448 Oct 12 00:21 Makefile.dist -rw------- 1 root wheel 4491 Nov 7 08:41 master.passwd drwx------ 2 root wheel 512 Nov 7 13:36 nemesis -rw------- 1 root wheel 3653 Nov 7 13:35 passwd -rw------- 1 root wheel 40 Nov 7 13:35 ypservers uname -v of my master server: FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE #3: Sat Oct 12 00:29:43 EDT 2002 root@dhcp198-13.njit.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MELPOMENE From rc.conf on my NIS client machine: nisdomainname="nemesis" nis_client_enable="YES" nfs_client_enable="YES" nfs_reserved_port_only="YES" uname -v of my client machine: FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE #0: Fri Nov 1 13:17:18 EST 2002 user@dhcp199-1.njit.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ARGUS I'm using NFS to mount /usr/home from the server on the client machine. All the accounts on the server have their home directories in /usr/home ypcat passwd returns the passwd list, ypwhich returns the master server name, chpass (usernameon server) returns the correct user's master.passwd entry. I've placed the correct punctuation at the bottom of the edited master.passwd file and in the /etc/group file. But.... None of my NIS server users can login on the client machine. For example: > su -l zooba su: unknown login: zooba And zooba is a valid login name/account on the NIS master. I use an NFS/NIS combination in my homenetwork where 3 laptops all wirelessly login to my NIS/NFS server. I remember it took some time to get it to work right, but it works just fine. I'm clueless as to what is wrong in the lab at work. Suggestions welcome.
