Here's the situation:
My debian system is running as an NIS client from a master which
happens to be an SGI. I can log into my debian linux system, so it
sees my user name from the passwd map. I can do a
ypcat passwd.byname
ypcat passwd.byuid
ypcat group.byname
ypcat group.bygid
and see all the correct entries. I can 'cd ~username' and also
'finger username' so somehow it's getting that information correctly.
After the cd, my working directory is my home directory on a NFS
mounted disk. However, if I do an 'ls -l' on a file, it reports the
numeric uid and gid instead of the names from the passwd and group
databases. I'm running
kernel version 2.0.30
netbase 2.13-1
netstd 2.13-1
nis 2.20-1
Another oddity is that if I do:
ypwhich -m
to get the names of all the maps, it gives me a long litany of
YP: can't find the master of (null): Reason: Request arguments bad
error messages, but if I do
ypwhich -m passwd
it reports the correct yp master.
Any ideas on what is going on would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric Stern
