RE: can't get NIS working...

Hello,

Thanks for all the replies... I still have one small problem though...

I started the ypbind process, and now 'ypcat passwd' works fine...
However, I still cannot login properly.

There's a user in the nismaps called "dan" and this user was also
duplicated on my client box (before it was a client), so I deleted this
user form the local passwd file on the client, and checked I could still
do 'ypcat passwd' and see him listed. I could.

I then typed "su - dan" and typed in the password I have on that username.
It didn't work...

  bash-2.03$ su - dan
  Password:
  su: Sorry
  bash-2.03$

Any ideas now?? The /etc/nsswitch.conf file has this line in it:

  passwd: files nis

I assume this is vaguely correct...

Thanks for your help,
Richard.
