Hi,
I've been trying to setup an NIS client under FreeBSD 2.2.6
but unsuccessful, well kind of. It seems like every thing
works, meaning :
# ypwhich
gives the NIS servers name
# rpcinfo -p
gives
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100005 3 udp 1012 mountd
100005 3 tcp 1022 mountd
100005 1 udp 1012 mountd
100005 1 tcp 1022 mountd
100003 2 udp 2049 nfs
100003 3 udp 2049 nfs
100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs
100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs
100024 1 udp 1000 status
100024 1 tcp 1021 status
100007 2 udp 898 ypbind
100007 2 tcp 1019 ypbind
# ypcat passwd
gives the password file from the NIS server
# ypcat hosts
gives the hosts file on from the NIS server
I can finger other users on the network too but I just
cannot seem to login as a network user. We have two Digital
Unix machines acting as the NIS primary and backup servers,
several SCO and linux boxes acting as NIS clients without
any problems. Our unix "guru" gave up too saying that it has
do with the login process cause everything else looks OK.
Please HELP !!
Also, we are planning on cutting over to FreeBSD replacing
all of the linux boxes if NFS performance proves to be
better than Linux's. Do you know what implementation of NFS,
FreeBSD uses ?
Thank you so much in advance
Russell
PS. Oh yes, I checked all of the sources on the 'NET', man
pages etc and seems like that the information given there is
identical to the procedure I've followed :
=========================rc.conf============================
nis_client_enable="YES" # We're an NIS client (or
NO).
nis_client_flags="-s -S domain-la,brain,platform" # Flags to
ypbind (if enabled).
nis_ypset_enable="YES" # Run ypset at boot time (or
NO).
nis_ypset_flags="brain" # Flags to ypset (if
enabled).
nis_server_enable="NO" # We're an NIS server (or
NO).
nis_server_flags="" # Flags to ypserv (if
enabled).
nis_ypxfrd_enable="NO" # Run rpc.ypxfrd at boot
time (or NO).
nis_ypxfrd_flags="" # Flags to rpc.ypxfrd (if

nis_yppasswdd_enable="YES" # Run rpc.yppasswdd at boot

I did a vipw to modify the master.passwd file and added
+:::::::::, exited out and when check the passwd file it had
+:*::: so I got rid of the *. Is that OK ?
