Hello, I installed NIS on a Debian server and I'm trying to set up another Debian as a NIS client (latest Debian versions from the unstable tree). In the latter, I added the line "+:::" to the /etc/group file and the line "+" to /etc/aliases. Then, I started the ypbind daemon.
In the client machine, if I give the command "ypcat group" I can see the groups defined in the server. However, the "system utilities" can't see those groups. By this I mean, an "ls -l" just reports the GID of the files as numbers, not names, the "chgrp" command doesn't recognize the NIS server's groups, etc. Also, smail doesn't see the aliases file even though the "ypcat aliases" command shows the right content. The password file however seems to be recognized. I can login on the client machine using the users defined in the master. If you have an idea of what I may be missing please drop me a note.
