Hi folks (particularly Bill!)

I am messing around with NIS for the first time in my life, and have had
some success. I put the +... entries into passwd, group and alias, setup
my server (different machine), did cd /var/yp;make. Setup the relevant
bits in sysconfig (I am running current - ctm510). Did a reboot and
voila! seems to work: ypcat passwd.byname lists the passwd file (with
stars not passwords). ypmatch worked for passwd.byname and passwd.byuid.
GREAT!

Now the problem. As root I cd to a user's directory, then ls -l. ls
dumps core:

Apr 14 20:23:36 grumble /kernel: pid 211: ls: uid 0: exited on signal 11
segmentation fault (core dumped)

Attempting to log in as a pleb NIS user results in login barfing the
same way.

Any ideas? Is this a bug or have I blown something?

(I am using the O'Reilly book 'Managing NFS and NIS'. It seems to be quite
SUN-centric. How close is it to the way FreeBSD does things?)
