Hi,

I have a NIS server running on the local machine, and ypbind has
successfully bound to it. I can

  ypcat passwd

and

  ypcat group

and see sensible things. I have the following as the last entry in
master.passwd, as edited using vipw:

  +:::::::::

and the following in /etc/group, also as the final line:

  +:::

/etc/auth.conf and /etc/pam.conf are as-shipped. uname -a shows:

FreeBSD hive1.qsi.net.nz 3.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE #3: \
 Sat Dec  4 16:03:07 NZDT 1999     \
 jabley@hive1.qsi.net.nz:/usr/src/sys/compile/HIVE  i386

I can't get regular system utilities like su, chown, chgrp, etc to
recognise the users in and groups in their respective nis maps. I
suspect I am missing something simple :)

If anybody could point out the obvious error here, I'd be very
happy.

Thanks,


Joe
