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. As I wrote in my first mail, I can get the passwd file with ypcat. That's why I think that the problem is the encryption and not the nis system. > Additionally, as root try using su to become an nis user. See if that produces any useful error messages. I tried that, but it fails with the error message "Unknown user". But I can list the home directories of the user. (We mount them with the automount daemon, so this works without problems.) Thanks anyway. Any other suggestions? cu andy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
