Our CS program has been running on a FreeBSD server for several years; we received an NSF grant to (among other things) put in a lab of Sparcs. I want to cause little or no disruption to my students so the plan is to run our freebsd box as the NIS (and NFS) server to the lab. Freebsd's ypserv restricts clients to using ports under 1024. Solaris NIS clients happily use all ports when they talk to ypserv. The unhappy result is that my Solaris boxes (Solaris 7) give "login incorrect" all the time. Does anyone know a way to either tell ypserv to allow ports above 1024 (this isn't my preference of course) or how to make Solaris NIS restrict itself? I see one solution may be to (ugh) copy master.passwd.* to passwd.* Is there a better/nicer/prettier way? Thanks for any help or advice :-) gary =========================================================================== Gary Lewandowski lewandow@cerebro.xu.edu http://cerebro.xu.edu/~lewandow Xavier University Mathematics and Computer Science =========================================================================== To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
