I'm trying to set up nis with a freebsd box as the server and redhat 9 as the client. I cannot get it to authenticate to the freebsd server. I have been reading and It looks like I need to set up a shadow NIS map for Linux. I found a patch here http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-net@xxxxxxxxxxx/msg09367.html but everytime I run it awk complains soon after it gets to the shadow.byname part. It says file not found. I was wondering if anyone has gotten this to ever work and I would appreciate any help.
