Here's what I've done 1) Copy /etc/master.passwd file to /var/yp 2) Generate ypservers file in /var/yp 3) Make maps using the make -f Makefile.dist 4) Enable ypserv on the server by modifying the flag in rc.conf 5) Enable ypbind on the client by modifying the flag in rc.conf 6) Modify the client's /etc/passwd to include the entry + 7) Modify the client's /etc/master.passwd to include the entry + 8) Set the domainname of both the client and the server And it doesn't work! I wonder if anybody have experience in this can give me a hand. Thanks in advance. CK
