This is probably the wrong place to post this, but as I'm not on any of the mailing lists, sorry but here goes. There appears to be a problem with 3.0-RELEASE when trying to use NIS for user login. I have 3.0 installed set up as a nis client. when I try and log in using the nis account I get Login Incorrect. If I look at the traffic to the NIS master it is interrogating it correctly and getting the correct reply. If I log in as root and su to the user I get the users filestore. I get the correct maps with ypcat. Local users can log in fine. I create a local user with the same shell and home as my remote user, he can log in, put a + infront of the password entry to get it use a NIS map and he cannot log in. I _KNOW_ I'm typing in the correct password. Any ideas? Please mail directly to me at jal@mcs.le.ac.uk Many thanks John Landamore | Researchers have already cast much darkness | Sys.
