Hello folks, I just installed a FreeBSD-3.3 host and have networking up, ypbind running with an appropriate domainname set, and I can ypcat out all of my NIS maps without a problem. However, I'm finding it difficult to configure my host to perform NIS client lookups for login requests. I note that according to the man nis I'm supposed to use the traditional "+" tokens in each various /etc configuration file in order to facilitate the inclusion of each respective NIS map, however vipw won't allow me to include a basic token such as: +:*:0:0::: in the password map. It just complains about a garbled entry and won't build write the password file. I've poked around www.freebsd.org and looked for documentation for NIS configuration but I don't see any. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks, --Maynard To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
