Hi Bill

(Long time, no chat!)

After a very long vacation from hacking Secure RPC, I am getting back
to it, and I am hitting some snags.

This one has got me perplexed; On the NIS server, I have set up the
/etc/publickey file (I used newkey -h server.grondar.za and newkey -h
client.grondar.za). I cd'd to /var/yp and did a make, and ypcat of
publickey.byname is cool. I then did a keyserv -n on the server, and I
was asked for root's password; no problem.

On the client, keyserv -n always fails with:

keyserv: can't find unix.client.grondar.za@grondar's secret key

Any ideas? ypcat of publickey.byname on client looks OK.

Also - it would be nice :-) if you could put some basic SecureRPC
configuration stuff into rc.conf to help the inexperienced. I'd
be happy to do it once I've figured out how it all works again, but
methinks you could do it in your sleep...

Keep well!

M
