YZ -- ...and then yiping@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx said... % Please note that enabling NIS using auth directive may cause interference % later on for %post scripts (at least that 's the case with Redhat 6.2) % because a nsswitch.conf file is installed into /etc dir and if you try to % configure some accounts in %post scripts, it would try to contact NIS server % and fail miserribly ! Ahhh... Thanks! Even though David said that he doesn't see that under 7.x, I still do not have all of my mount and %post stuff nailed down (now I cannot even use a here script to update resolv.conf; *sigh*), and I can certainly try taking that out for now. I had originally had auth --nisdomain calix.com --nisserver petuxi02 --useshadow --enablemd5 in my ks.cfg file and things worked well; I then added --enablenis as well as played with a bunch of other stuff and now things are flaky (but they could be all unrelated; I haven't been taking terribly good notes, much less using rcs). My question is: do you mean to remove the enablenis flag from the auth line or to get rid of the nis auth line entirely? % % My work around is to manually configure NIS at the end of your %post % scripts. I had a post on this list a while back on this problem. I've been quietly subscribed for a while, so I'll look for it. % % YZ Thanks! :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) davidtg@xxxxxxxxxxx * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) davidtgwork@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.bigfoot.com/~davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
