Hi there,
I think I might have problems of NIS+ permission problem, but
I am not sure. Here is my story:
System: 5.8 Generic_108528-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-2
This is a NIS+ client. The root user can use nisls to list
all NIS+ tables. It can use niscat to display the contents of
system tables , e.g. auto_master, auto_home, passwd, etc. However
using niscat to display the contents of the user defined
auto_direct tables always give nothing. All regular users
have the same problem as the root user, except one account.
This luck user can display the contents of all the tables.
I have tried to setup the exact .profile and .kshrc files
as the 'luck user' for other users in hope that the others
will be able to display the user-defined auto_direct table.
I have no luck.
Because the root account can't display the contents of the
auto_direct table, when I run automount as root, I got the
following error message:
May 29 10:05:36 myhost automount[15257]: [ID 527529
daemon.warning] nis_list: NIS+ error Not found encountered on
name auto_mailhost.org_dir.mydomain.name.ca. in table
auto_mailhost.org_dir.mydomain.name.ca.'s path.
I have another ultra10 system with the same OS and patch level
having the similar problem. On this system the root and some
users have no problems using niscat for all NIS+ tables. However,
some other users can't display the user defined table
auto_direct. Again I tried to setup all users in the same way:
the same ksh, same .profile, and using the same global
/etc/profile. I don't have any luck at all.
Does any one know what's going on here? I will summarize
the response.
Regards,
Yuan Lu
