**IF this is the wrong list for this topic please let me know which list I should post network services issues to. I am relatively new to FreeBSD but have quite a bit of experience with NIS on Linux. I am currently working on connecting a FreeBSD 4.9 client connection to NIS server running on OpenBSD 3.9. The ypcat commands are working and I can see the passwd and group files, however when I attempt to login to the machine I keep getting SSHD Illegal User Errors. The type of behavior I am seeing would be common on a Linux machine that uses nssswitch.conf to state which objects to pass authentication through, but its missing the nis value for passwd: or group:. Looking through the FreeBSD website I see that nssswitch was introduced in FreeBSD 5.X. For previous versions of FreeBSD and NIS, are there any additional configurations that need to be done? Possibly with PAM? I have the following values in my /etc/rc.conf files: nisdomainname="myNISdomain" nis_client_enable="YES" I have followed the FreeBSD NIS/YP Handbook configuration to the T, and still get the illegal user authentication any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much, DK -- David Kramer, RHCE Sr. Systems Engineer Coverity, Inc.
