After several years of getting by without NIS on our HP-UX
workstations, I'm now trying to get NIS into operation as
our company shifts further over to the darkside - Microsoft.
We need NIS working so that MS Services for Unix can map
user and group names between HP-UX and Windows, so that the
NFS exports from Windows can be accessed from HP-UX.
Anyway, I've setup an NIS server on one HP, Titan HP-UX 11.0,
and NIS client on another HP, Dax HP-UX 10.20. 'ypwhich -m'
on Dax displays:
auto.master titan
vhe_list titan
publickey.byname titan
mail.byaddr titan
netgroup.byhost titan
netgroup.byuser titan
mail.aliases titan
netgroup titan
protocols.byname titan
protocols.bynumber titan
servi.bynp titan
services.byname titan
rpc.byname titan
rpc.bynumber titan
networks.byaddr titan
networks.byname titan
hosts.byaddr titan
hosts.byname titan
group.bygid titan
group.byname titan
passwd.byuid titan
passwd.byname titan
ypservers titan
Dax has a stripped-down /etc/passwd file, with +:*:*::: as
the last entry. /etc/nsswitch.conf has 'passwd: compat'.
I can list the passwd DB with 'ypcat -d ksrhpux -k passwd',
on Dax. I can change a password for an account on Titan,
from Dax. I can login as root on Dax and 'su - acct' for an
account that is not in Dax's passwd file, but is shared via
NIS from Titan.
But I cannot login on Dax with any of the NIS provided passwd
file entries, only with the ones that remain explicitly in
its passwd file.
It appears that NIS is not handling password authentication.
Neither system is a trusted system.
Anyone have any ideas what I need to fix?
Regards,
Doug Wyatt
