Hello, I setup a redhat Linux 9 NIS client with existing NIS+/NIS environment. The NIS server is actually Solaris NIS+ server which runs in NIS emulation mode. I modifed /etc/nsswitch.conf as below, -- passwd: files nis shadow: files nis group: files nis --- modifed /etc/pam.d/login as below ---- #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_securetty.so #auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth auth required pam_unix.so nullok auth required pam_nologin.so #account required pam_stack.so service=system-auth account required pam_unix.so debug #password required pam_stack.so service=system-auth password required pam_unix.so nullok #session required pam_stack.so service=system-auth session required pam_unix.so debug session optional pam_console.so -------- Then I start /etc/init.d/ypbind, it shows no error meesage and bind to my NIS server. But when I tried to login as a user whose name is in the NIS table, error messages shown in /var/log/messages ---- Oct 7 11:19:29 myhost rlogin(pam_unix)[2759]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=rlogin ruser=root rhost=linux user=myusername Oct 7 11:19:32 myhost in.rlogind[2759]: PAM authentication failed for in.rlogi nd Oct 7 11:19:35 myhost login(pam_unix)[2760]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=pts/1 ruser= rhost=linux user=myusername Oct 7 11:19:37 myhost login[2760]: FAILED LOGIN 1 FROM linux FOR myusernaem, Authe ntication failure ---- I checked NIS setup with ypcat, ypmatch. They are working file. The output of "ypmatch myusername passwd" is, --- myusername:*NP*:1532:1000:My User:/home/myusername:/bin/csh ---- And I setup autofs to use the information from NIS too, autofs is working fine. So probably the only problem is in /etc/pam.d/login (this file worked fine for NIS+ client, I had ever setup this linux box as a NIS+ too, and now NIS+ client is removed). I already read NIS howto carefully and followed the instructions. Anyone can give ma a hand? Thanks in advance.
