[comp.sys.sun] Problem with YP and netgroup

kjartan@zig.inria.fr (Kjartan Emilson) (11/04/90)

I've been trying to set up Yellow Pages on a small networks of SS1, and I
ran into some problems concerning netgroups & nfs mounting.  The problem
is the following:

o I define a YP netgroup:  everything (,,)
o I export a directory with access restricted to this netgroup
o I try to nfs-mount this directory on another machine, with all
  hosts.equiv files on all machines having an entry +@everything

	and I get the message:  Access denied...(etc)

Same with rlogin and rsh, password is always required for all users, even
when local .rhosts files are present.

Ypmatch recognises the netgroup on all machines and everything beside this
is running fine.  What am I doing wrong, why is the system so paranoid ?
