I am trying to set up NIS for the first time. I followed the recipe in the Handbook, and successfully got the server running and configured. I specifically do not have a securenets file. Yet my client machine can't seem to talk to the server (symptom is infinite hang after entering a user name at the login prompt). I did add the magic +::::::::: and +:*:: entries via vipw and vi /etc/group on the client machine, and I have the domainname set the same on both machines. The one thing I know I am unclear on is whether client and server have to be on the same Ethernet segment. The existence of the concept of a securenets file and tcpwrappers support in NIS seems to imply that they do not. Clues are most welcome. Thanks. -- ______________________________________________________ ( fred@condo.chico.ca.us Repeal the DMCA.
