hi, I have posted a message about PAM and AIX before but I haven't got an answer. If somebody knows about my problem please answer. My problem is as follows: I have a sunOS 5.8 machine and NIS+ server running on it. And I want to make my AIX 3.4 machine NIS+ client. But nisplus users CAN NOT login to the AIX machine. I get an error message when I try to login: Invalid login name or password. (Although I enter the correct name and password). I think there is something wrong with authentication. But there is no PAM on AIX; there are some files under /etc/security for authentication, and they are all OK. I wonder if there is PAM for AIX; and if not how can I solve this problem. thanks in advance. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.
