During the last three days I've been reading all there is and tweaking my NIS configuration, but it doesn't seem to work. I have one server and one client, both running version 2.2.1. I have configured the server to run : ypserv (no flags) rpc.yppasswdd -t /var/yp/master.passwd -a -v -s -f ypbind (I've tried all flags) I have made a copy of master.passwd and passwd in /var/yp to keep the maps separate from the original files. The client is running ypbind (I've tried all flags too). I've also added the corresponding "+:*::::" to both /etc/master.passwd and /etc/group in the client. (in the master too) The problem is I can't login from the client. I made a test running ypserv -d (debugging mode) on the master and when i try to login from the client, the server says to receive the query and respond. But login won't let me in. The same happens when I try to login in the server with a user that is not in the /etc/master.passwd but is indeed in the map. I've seen some questions similar to this one in the archives, but no answers. I would really appreciate some help. I'm getting desperate!!
