Managers,
I will be the first to admit that I am not a guru when it comes to
YP/NIS, and I would like to ask a hopefully simple question.
I am attempting to add a new NIS client to my domain. I have modified
nsswitch.conf to use the proper compat entries for passwd and group. I
added the proper entries to /etc/passwd (+:x:::::) and /etc/group (+:).
Automounting is also working correctly.
Here is the strange part:
When I am logged in as root, I am able to su - username with no
problems. The user logs in, has their home directory, and all is well.
However, when I am logged in as a user and su to another user (not root)
the users password is never accepted. I also cannot login as a non-root
user directly using SSH. SSH keys are accepted without problem for that
user, but passwords are not.
I know that I am overlooking something simple. Can anyone clue me in?
Also, I have been looking for good online NIS references and have not
had the best luck finding one. Any suggestions?
Thanks, and I will summarize,
