Greetings all! I'm trying to use FreeBSD 5.4 as an NIS client, and am encountering problems. I've followed the instructions given in the FreeBSD docs (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-nis.html= ) successfully, but the system does not recognize my NIS users. Running ypcat passwd shows expected output: freebsd5# ypcat passwd Administrator:Lav79IkYtvC3g:0:0::/root:/bin/bash jeremy:iZ45wDaonJWpA:500:100::/home/jeremy:/bin/bash test:vXiHWkO7dsBl.:501:100::/home/test:/bin/bash However, when I try to login as any of these 3 users, it rejects the login - even using the "id" command fails: freebsd5# id jeremy id: jeremy: no such user Can anyone give me some insight on why this is happening. A RedHat EL 4 installation connected to the same NIS domain works perfectly. Thanks for any help you can provide! Jeremy
