A production FreeBSD 5 machine and a test FreeBSD 6 machine work just fine with it, except for a small glitch on the FreeBSD 6 machine: >speyburn# ypwhich >panther.internal.local >speyburn# ypwhich -m >ypwhich: can't find the master of ``: reason: No such map in server's = domain The FreeBSD 5 machine correctly lists all the maps. I want to move to a NIS server provided by Microsoft's Services for Unix running on an Active Directory domain controller. FreeBSD 6 seems to work OK, though the error message changes slightly: >speyburn# ypwhich >axiom.internal.local >speyburn# ypwhich -m >ypwhich: can't find the master of `: reason: No such map in server's = domain (only one quote rather than two). But it actually functions fine: >speyburn# id jhatfield >uid=3D115(jhatfield) gid=3D100(Domain Users) groups=3D100(Domain Users),= 0(wheel) I can log in with no problem. Unfortunately the FreeBSD 5 machine does not work fine at all. Firstly it can only find one map: >banff# ypwhich >axiom.internal.local >banff# ypwhich -m >ypservers axiom And it can't convert login names to UIDs: >banff# id jhatfield >id: jhatfield: no such user If anyone has experience of pointing FreeBSD at an SFU/AD NIS server I'd like to know if they had this problem and if so how it was solved. I really want to move to the AD NIS so if I have to I'll replace the machine with one running FreeBSD 6, but I'd prefer not to have to.
