Still trying to migrate our NIS from an old Sparc to a Services For Unix/Active Directory setup. AMD won't play so I'm using text files for that. Now to move forward to actually logging in.... A test machine running FreeBSD 6 seems to work OK, though "ypwhich -m" behaves strangely: >speyburn# uname -v >FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Thu Nov 17 12:42:17 GMT 2005 = root@speyburn.internal.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC >speyburn# ypwhich -m >ypwhich: can't find the master of `: reason: No such map in server's = domain >speyburn# ypwhich -m ypservers >axiom >speyburn# id jhatfield >uid=3D115(jhatfield) gid=3D100(Domain Users) groups=3D100(Domain Users),= 0(wheel) But a production machine running FreeBSD 5 does not: >banff# uname -v >FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE-p16 #1: Wed Apr 7 15:14:39 BST 2004 = root@banff.isltd.insignia.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/BANFF >banff# ypwhich -m >ypservers axiom >banff# id jhatfield >id: jhatfield: no such user The only change I made is to the nisdomainname line in /etc/rc.conf, followed by a reboot. All the ypxxx commmands seem to work OK, yet usernames can't be looked up. Why would this be? I really don't want to replace this machine with a FBSD6 machine just to fix this, though I will if I have to. Jim
