I am using 2.2.5, on a really smal (5 machine) network: all tcp/ip based. On the master NIS machine, I put the magic cookie (+:::::::::) in the passwd file, and the appropriate magic cookies everywhere else, and have the master acting as a client as well. The master machine is fine. The clients are not though... I did everything the same on the clients, and they answer correctly to a ypwhich, but I can't login using NIS passwords: now the strange part: I *can* see the NIS passwords when I use ypcat passwd, so I *know* the file is making it over! What did I do wrong here? Thanks! BTW: I'm not on the list, so I would appreciate it if you could answer me directly, thnks! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
