I've got ypbin running. I can do a "ypcat passwd" and see the user defined The home directory and the shell both exist for that user The /etc/nsswitch.conf file has "files nis" for passwd, shadow, and group. But I get this in /var/log/secure: May 4 15:14:38 tomh login: FAILED LOGIN 1 FROM tty3 FOR tom, Authentication failure or if I try to ssh in, I get: May 4 15:02:18 tomh sshd[13139]: fatal: Access denied for user tom by PAM account configuration [preauth] What new mystery has been introduced to the configuration of ypbind and NIS? _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
