Date: Fri, 14 Apr 1995 21:05:18 +0200 From: Mark Murray Sender: current-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi folks (particularly Bill!) I am messing around with NIS for the first time in my life, and have had some success. I put the +... entries into passwd, group and alias, setup my server (different machine), did cd /var/yp;make. Setup the relevant bits in sysconfig (I am running current - ctm510). Did a reboot and voila! seems to work: ypcat passwd.byname lists the passwd file (with stars not passwords). ypmatch worked for passwd.byname and passwd.byuid. GREAT! Now the problem. As root I cd to a user's directory, then ls -l. ls dumps core: Apr 14 20:23:36 grumble /kernel: pid 211: ls: uid 0: exited on signal 11 segmentation fault (core dumped) Attempting to log in as a pleb NIS user results in login barfing the same way. Any ideas? Is this a bug or have I blown something? (I am using the O'Reilly book 'Managing NFS and NIS'. It seems to be quite SUN-centric. How close is it to the way FreeBSD does things?)
