I have a FreeBSD-stable workstation I am tring to set up with NIS. I've configured it as an NIS client (The NIS servers are running Solaris), I can view the various NIS maps with ypcat with no problem, and users in the NIS passwd map can log in with no problem. Their home directories, however, are NFS-mounted from an IRIX 6.2 server, but NIS users get a "Permission denied" error when they try to modify files on their NFS-mounted directories. (These NFS mounts were given the -o rw flag.) If I place these users in the system passwd file, everything works as normal, but this defeats the purpose of having NIS. Any ideas? Thanks for any and all help. (BTW, I'm planning on moving away from NIS in a few months, but I just took over the administration for this network and I'm not ready to completely usurp everything that came before me.) -- Matthew Jason Euclid Barnhart - euclid@io.com - http://www.io.com/~euclid The Transcontinental Recording Company - trc@io.com - http://www.io.com/~trc ".. bleakness.... desolation.... plastic forks..." -- Zippy the Pinhead To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
