Hi guys, I'm setting up a NIS environment, and I'm having trouble adding a NIS account into the wheel group. The NIS client, simply won't allow the user, that is in the NIS group map as being in 'wheel' to use the su command, because 'su' thinks the user is not in the wheel group: --[ begin paste ]-- Welcome to FreeBSD! > id uid=500(user) gid=500(user) groups=500(user), 0(wheel) > su su: you are not in the correct group (wheel) to su root. > ypcat group <snip some> user:*:500: wheel:*:0:root,user > ypcat passwd <snip> user:*:500:500:The User:/home/user:/bin/tcsh --[ end paste ]-- I'm drawing a blank, this should all work as far as I can see, especially since ypbind is running, and the following imports are at the end of the local passwd/group: passwd: +@EUFORIA:*::::: +:*:::::/sbin/nologin group: +:*:: It's probably something stupid I'm overlooking .. could you guys give me a hand ? :) Gr, -- Nils Vogels PGP:0xC26BD15F Available on keyservers.
