Greetings... As you know, I have a machine which doesn't seem to grok NIS. I put the ypserv into debug mode to watch the transactions, and to my surprise, everything looks in order - except that this box won't believe what it's told! (1) The box binds to my NIS server (2) It does abunch of queries/loads: groups, passwd, etc... (3) When I type in a login name not in it's local password file, it requests the appropriate record from NIS, and is given the proper response. (4) When I type in the password, it complains the login is invalid, & goes back to (3) I've done this from other machines as well, for comparison sake, and there does not appear to be *any* difference in the traffic exchanged between my NIS server and either of these two boxes. I've checked the following to be sure they were *identical* (including permissions) to a box which is NIS-OK... /etc: netgroup, passwd, master.passwd, protocols, rpc, services, hosts, host.conf, group, login.conf. I'm totally out of ideas here... J.A. Terranson sysadmin@mfn.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
