Hello,
    I'm having a few problems configuring nis to interoperate between
FreeBSD which is the main nis server and rh 7.2 linux nis clients.
    First of all, user's can log in to the nis master server just fine and
change their passwords. However, they can not log in to the linux boxes even
though the linux boxes can display information about the nis users. In
/var/yp/Makefile on the nis master server i've set unsecure to true, and
remade the nis maps, this has not corrected the problem.
    Additionally, using proftpd doesn't work, i've added the suggested lines
to /etc/pam.conf and PersistentPasswd off to proftpd.conf, restarted
proftpd, however when a user tries to log in an error 530 occurs and in
/var/log/messages i get a message that the password is not valid.
    Any pointers appreciated.
Thanks.
Dave.
