Ok, I'm lost. I've been through the man pages, dogeared the Hal Stern book, and only spent two evenings getting my network to run again while trying to set up NIS. Between one server and one client, no less! I've configured the files in /etc, and sysconfig (2.2.1R) is set up to cause ypserv and ypbind to run. rpcinfo reports everything running. The client end shows the maps are accessible but the only user available on the client is root. I can ypmatch any of the other users and see the map record as well. So, I assume that the login is seeing the same thing. However... ypcat on the password map shows the server password map, and _not_ the client map appended as I expected. The root entry, for example shows the shell selection for the server side and not the client side. I assume that is because I'm reading the map on the server and not the client. Since I cannot log on to any users in the map I think the append never happens. What, exactly is the syntax of the "+" key usage in this implementation. I may have had other problems since sendmail went bannanas. Loopback errors were abundant but the mail went through. Ideas?
