Also, if you follow the directions in the handbook, they suggest you make a different master.passwd file in /var/yp to store the accounts that go into nis....I re-wrote the make file section for passwd.* and told it to look to /etc/passwd where the UID is greater then 1000....and it works great for me...if you'd like a copy of the entries in the Makefile, I'll send them to you. It sounds like that's what's going on (and I've had endless students make this mistake in class as well...it's a common one). --Brian On Sun, 10 Oct 2004 21:44:18 -1000, William Bierman wrote: > > Be hot on typo. > > > > My case : > > > > % sudo tail -1 /etc/ma*d > > +::::::::: > > % sudo tail -1 /etc/ma*d|wc -c > > 11 > > % > > Sorry, this was a typo in my email, not the master.passwd.
