First of all, user's can log in to the nis master server just fine and change their passwords. However, they can not log in to the linux boxes even though the linux boxes can display information about the nis users. In /var/yp/Makefile on the nis master server i've set unsecure to true, and remade the nis maps, this has not corrected the problem. Additionally, using proftpd doesn't work, i've added the suggested lines to /etc/pam.conf and PersistentPasswd off to proftpd.conf, restarted proftpd, however when a user tries to log in an error 530 occurs and in /var/log/messages i get a message that the password is not valid. Any pointers appreciated. Thanks. Dave. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
