Hi, I am using 2.2.2-RELEASE (BTW - man page is out of date; it refers to /etc/sysconfig instead of /etc/rc.conf). I set up yp/nis, and everything appears to work fine (rpc.passwdd, ypserv, ypcat, ypchsh, ypwhich, etc.). I can make my user lists and verify them locally and remotely using ypcat. I can also change passwords and finger information w/ ypchsh and yppasswd (and /usr/bin/passwd for NIS-only logins). No problems at all. However, whenever I try to login (telnet, ftp, or console) w/ an NIS identity, I get the normal "login incorrect" message. Yes, I am typing the correct password :) Do you need a different version of /usr/libexec/login for NIS? I would think authentication would be built into getpwent(), but I could be wrong. I can not figure this out... Thanks! Kevin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
