If you edit w/vipw though that's what you get. And...you'll also want '+' at the bottom of /etc/group. And...FYI...if you use FreeBSD as a master for commercial most commercial Unixes you need to set the UNSECURE flag in /var/yp/Makefile. And...as mentioned, you need to make sure your libcrypt is libdescrypt (assuming your master is using the DES crypt as well). Speaking of YP, anyone know why FreeBSD's ypxfrd isn't liked by Solaris? My Solaris 2.7 slave always complains: ypxfr: couldnot get archeron address (info) archeron jumpweb.net group.bygid ypxfrd getdbm failed (reason = -1) -- using ypxfr ypxfr: couldnot get archeron address ypxfr then succeeds at getting the map the old way (w/o ypxfrd). It's been like this from 3.0 through 3.4 FreeBSD (x86). -- Mark Gooderum mark@jumpweb.com -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Gallatin [mailto:gallatin@cs.duke.edu] Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2000 2:41 PM To: Waite, Michael Cc: mjacob@feral.com; freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: RE: FreeBSD and NIS Waite, Michael writes: > vipw outputs this: > > > /etc/pw.Xe8310: 19 Lines, 1004 characters. > vipw: rebuilding the database... > pwd_mkdb:corrupted entry > pwd_mkdb:at line #19 > pwd_mkdb:/etc/pw.Xe8310: Inappropriate file type or format > > Hows about them apples? > Never seen that before. > As I said this is the first time I have installed from the iso image. > The other two FreeBSD boxes that I have (alpha Xp1000a and DPW500au) don't > do this. > > -----Mike > > Yeah, I'm a moron, I gave you the shadowed entry.
