Has anyone successfully set up a RH 7.2 box as a NIS client? I have enabled NIS as a client, and I can do ypwhich and ypcat and ypmatch. All server and accounts details are returned okay. The problem is that all log in attempts failed with authentication errors - using telnet, ssh, and at the console. These accounts work okay on systems running RH 7.1. I compared the system-auth under /etc/pam.d between RH 7.2 and 7.1, but they are a bit different now. I tried using the version from 7.1, but no luck. Enabling the debug mode in ypbind does not tell much neither. Is this a bug on NIS under RH 7.2? By the way, the NIS server is an Alpha running Tru64 Unix V5.1. So only NIS and not NIS+ is used. Nsswitch.conf has also been updated using nis and not nisplus. Regards, Peter Chiu Tel: +44-(0)1235-446699 Fax: +44-(0)1235-445848 Email: P.Chiu@rl.ac.uk
