Hi,
I'll try to answer your questions.
I can only log in to the clients as a non-nis user, and as such ypcat
passwd does display the password file, however ypcat group displays what i'm
assuming is the fbsd box's /etc/group file or maybe the rh box's group file,
in any rate it's not the right file.
Can you explain what you mean by hashed passwords? The fbsd box is using
md5 as are the rh box.
I do not have net groups.
The passwd and group lines on the rh box's /etc/nsswitch.conf file read:
passwd: files nis
shadow: files nis
group: files nis
Finally, the
+:::::::::
line in /etc/master.passwd
and
+:*:0:
line in /etc/group
are on the fbsd server, not the rh client.
Thanks, and i'll let you know when i solve this, as it is annoying to say
the least.
Dave.
