Problems with NIS



Hi

I want to import user over NIS from a suse 10.2 pc to a fedora
pc


NIS Server ist running on suse an another suse server is able to
import the useres correctly

on fedora the client runs an i can switch as root via su to
the users exported from suse. (homedir ist imported by nfs)


the problem is

passwordchecking does not work: i cant switch as user via su to
a nis user (local user works). system claims: wrong password


I did edit passwd,shadow,groups,gshadow for +::: ...

no entrys in syslog concernig login try
after client stop/start

Jul 26 11:36:16 gate setsebool: The allow_ypbind policy boolean was
changed to 0 by root
Jul 26 11:36:19 gate setsebool: The allow_ypbind policy boolean was
changed to 1 by root
Jul 26 11:36:19 gate ypbind: NIS domain: designbau-ag, NIS server:
192.168.2.101

yptest runs without complaining and shows all imported user incl.
passwd hash

maybe here ist thomething wrong?

Test 8: yp_maplist
netid.byname
passwd.byuid
services.byname
services.byservicename
passwd.byname
rpc.bynumber
group.byname
group.bygid
ypservers
rpc.byname


where did i forget something, where am i wrong?

greetings
andreas
