I recently installed Freebsd and would like to have it using NIS for authentication. We already have a NIS+ server in NIS mode running on a SPARC w/ Solaris 2.3. The machine w/ FreeBSD seems to recognize perfectly well the NIS server, commands like ypcat passwd give the result I expect. In order to be able to use the NIS-password map for loging in, I put the following at the end of the password file (using vipw) +::::::::: So one would expect to be able to log in. However to my surprise I get the following error after typing a login name: yp_order: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable I suppose that the format of the password file and the NIS map are different. I found the password file having the format as described in passwd(5), whereas the NIS map has the following format (7 fields instead of 10): andries:z6rdfghast1.:330:30:Andries Algera:/home/vera:/bin/ksh Could anyone out there help me to solve this problem.
