Hi... Just installed 2.2-960801-SNAP last night, and moved most of the load/administrative functions off of my 2.1-STABLE box over to it, including NIS... Now, for some reason that I've yet to figure, NIS doesn't work right. I'm running 'rpc.yypasswdd -m /etc/master.passwd -s -f', so that updates go properly to my /etc/master.passwd file, but if I try to change a pasword on one of my client machines, I get, in /var/log/messages on the server machine: Aug 3 15:35:24 quagmire rpc.yppasswdd[7708]: /var/yp/master.passwd: No such file or directory But I don't want it in /var/yp, and I'm explicitly telling it, according to the man page (or how I interpreted the man page, at least), to use /etc/master.passwd... Have I missed something, or did NIS get broken at some point? Thanks... Marc G. Fournier scrappy@ki.net Systems Administrator @ ki.net scrappy@freebsd.org
