Hi.
I am using 2.2.5, on a really smal (5 machine) network: all
tcp/ip based.

On the master NIS machine, I put the magic cookie (+:::::::::) in
the passwd file, and the appropriate magic cookies everywhere
else, and have the master acting as a client as well.

The master machine is fine.

The clients are not though...
I did everything the same on the clients, and they answer
correctly to a ypwhich, but I can't login using NIS passwords: now
the strange part: I *can* see the NIS passwords when I use
ypcat passwd, so I *know* the file is making it over!  What did
I do wrong here?

Thanks!
BTW: I'm not on the list, so I would appreciate it if you
could answer me directly, thnks!
