You can see which NIS server you are bound to with ypwhich and you can test the communication with ypcat and ypmatch. If this stuff fails look at the /var/yp/Makefile on the NIS server. Additionally, as root try using su to become an nis user. See if that produces any useful error messages. --- Bob Beer <r-beer@onu.edu> Ohio Northern University, Academic Computer Services, Ada, OH 45810 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
