I am running a small network with an IPC serving two SLCs (all running 4.1). All of the machines are /etc/hosts to each other and I have the IPC running NIS as the master server. The NIS is probably not setup correctly although ypinit -m does not give me any errors. In any case NIS is probably not necessary on this network and I will probably ditch it. The problem that I have is that none of the machines recognize password changes. Currently I have one id that doesn't have a password. I have used passwd and yppasswd(which one should I be using?--My knowledge of NIS is very poor) to change the password. This works all fine and dandy asking me for a new passwd. If I check with vipw to the /etc/passwd file or looking at /var/yp/yppasswd a password exists for this id. If I try logging in however, the machine does not ask for a password. What am I missing? -- ______________________________________________________________________________ bkc2@midway.uchicago.edu benjamin clardy ______________________________________________________________________________
