Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Md5: 6/Tjc26BfGLMdolJowuD2A== Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by freefall.freebsd.org id IAA11590 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have been trying to get my bsd 2.2-beta system to act as a yp client to a ypserver running on solaris 2.5.1 I have updated the passwd file (using vipw) and added the +::::::: entry, also the +::: in /etc/group. Also changed /etc/host.conf to use nis. I start ypbind with the -s option. I can issue commands such as ypcat and ypmatch -m and it lists all the maps. When I try to login using a yp user and password I get Login incorrect. If I log in as root and su - user I get in, can see all his files in his home directory and the owner/group fields are being picked up from nis. Any ideas? Is there a difference in the format between the bsd and solaris yp passwd file? It seems the problem is purely verifying the password. Thanks Paul Winder `:¬)
