Hi,

I'm trying to use NIS only for users authentication.

I have configured NIS server refering to
http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/806-1390/6jam94jus?a=view

Configured the NIS server (Note only passwd,shadow and hosts maps where built)
Started the NIS service

After this i just changed the entry(only for passwd and groups) in
/etc/nsswitch.conf as :

passwd: nis
group: nis
hosts: files
networks: files
protocols: files
rpc: files

----------------

After this i was ablt to SU - <username>
But just commented these 2 lines:

#passwd: nis
#group: nis
hosts: files

Restrated NIS service!!

STILL IT WORKED!! HOW ??????

-THANKS
