Re: Q: ypcat, ypwhich etc all work, but still no login

Pardon me, I meant not ypget but ypcat, ypwhich, etc.

Hello All,

I have two Linux boxen, patched up to current. One is a SuSE 10 NIS &
NFS server. The other is a Redhat AS4 NIS & NFS client.

The client can NFS mount /home off the server, and the various NIS
tools (ypget et al) all work on the client, showing proper info from
he server.

Yet, no NIS exported accounts can log in on the client.

I used Redhat's authconfig tool to configure the client, no joy. Then
I tried tweaking by hand, still no joy.

Any ideas?

Thanks in Advance!
-------------------

FWIW, here is my nsswitch.conf from the client:

passwd: compat nis
#shadow: compat
group: compat nis
hosts: files nis dns
bootparams: files
ethers: files
netmasks: files
networks: files dns
protocols: files nis
rpc: files
services: files nis
netgroup: files nis
publickey: files
automount: files nis
aliases: files
shadow: compat nis
.
