RE: NIS client not authenticating under RH 7.2

Many thanks for your reply, Forrest,

Literally one minute before the arrival of your message, 
I have just managed to log on using a nis account.

All my user accounts all have passwords longer than 8 
characters.  I have just shortened one of them to 8,
I can then log on okay using that account!

Actually I have also modified login to replace all
pam_stack.so by pam_unix.so.  But after successfully
logged on, I reinstated the original login, and I
can still log on.  So I suspect the cause is on the 
password length.

Regards,
Peter

I couldn't either until I found this bug report in bugzilla:

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55011

To quote:

After suggestions by a friend that 'pam_unix.so' was now deprecated I
changed in the file /etc/pam.d/system-auth:

auth        sufficient    /lib/security/pam_unix.so likeauth nullok

to

auth        sufficient    /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so likeauth nullok

and all is peachy.

Endquote

I just tested this, and it worked for me.
