Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi everybody, this might seem as a stupid question, and I'm almost sure that this is not the best forum, but then ... I set up a NIS master server, and this is working. When I run the command 'ypcat passwd' I get a listing of the currently acitive NIS user database as I should. I get this listing on both, the server and the client. But now, since the service seems to be up and the client is bound to the server: How can I make the login and all the other processes recognize that there is something else other than the passwd file. I tried to include a '+' entry into /etc/passwd and in /etc/master.passwd but still I cannot login as one of the NIS users on the client. Any hints? -- Andreas Pleschutznig Voice: 650.560.0142 Fax: 650.560.0141 Cell: 415.850.7996 andy@ple.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
