Second, which is the right one? I just installed 2.2-SNAP from scratch, and the only 'man' that comes up is for yppasswdd *shrug* And finally...with -t, that is working now, which I thought would fix the problem I was having in the first place...I can't login to the NIS client machine (2.1-STABLE) Pointer to "the right RTFM" would be helpful, since it would probably answer more then just th eimmediate question, but... I can successfully change a users password from the client machine, but login fails. Both machines are using DES encryption vs MD5, which is the first thing I checked...does that even affect things if you use NIS? Since password changing does work, I would have thought that the rest would by default, but it seems I'm wrong on this? Oh, 'ls ~' resolves correctly also, only login doesn't seem to be working... So, either a pointer to the manual to read for this, or a pointer to what I should be looking at would be great... Thanks... Marc G.
