Anyone with a bit of NIS saviness care to help me? I've got a FBSD5.2
machine that is connected to a larger network of suns and linux boxen.
Accounts are coordinated via yellow pages and I've managed to get the
FBSD box's NIS setup so that I can log in as one of those users.
The problem is that it appears that I can't SU to root from a user that
exists in the NIS map, but not locally. I've added that user to
/etc/group (wheel) but I get:
phoenix:~ su root
Password:
su: Sorry
phoenix:~ id
uid=3D9876(jlk23) gid=3D20(staff) groups=3D20(staff), 0(wheel), 14(sysa=
dmin)
phoenix:~ grep jlk23 /etc/group=20
wheel:*:0:root,joe,jlk23
phoenix:~ ypcat passwd | grep jlk23
jlk23:XXXX:9876:20:Joe Karthauser:/users/jlk23:/local/bin/tcsh
Any ideas?
Joe
