On bootup ypbind has no problem and if I do a `ypwhich` it will show the NIS master. Moreover, when I do a `ypcat passwd` the passwd list is displayed. When I try to use `vipw` to place a '+' at the end of the passwd file, the consistancy checks do not allow me. Must I edit the passwd file directly and use `pwd_mkdb` to resolve this problem, or is there another solution? Also, when I do a `ypwhich -x` not all the maps held by the NIS master are shown. Does somebody know why? By the way the NIS master running FreeBSD 2.11 and the client is running v.3.2. The master is correctly configured and integrated with an IRIX network.
