Attached is a log generated by screen of some system commands which show the symptoms of my problem. I cannot for the life of me understand why login authentication via yp is not working as it is supposed to. My configuration fits the manpage to the hilt. I've got UNSECURE = "True" uncommented in /var/yp/Makefile, and some custom Makefile targets to produce sun-style automounter maps. Otherwise it's a stock installation. reef# uname -a FreeBSD reef.structbio.vanderbilt.edu 4.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE #0: Thu Jul 27 04:44:16 GMT 2000 root@usw4.freebsd.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386 reef# ypwhich reef.structbio.vanderbilt.edu reef# ps auxw | grep yp root 83 0.0 0.4 1316 1068 ??
