I am assuming you have told the /etc/nsswitch to look at NIS. Also did you add the "+::::::" entry in your /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow? If you have just one user you want to get pull the passwd and info for (such as teste) then you would only have the entry: +teste:::::: in the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files. All other info will be pulled from the NIS server. Good luck, --Jay PS- If you have not upgraded to HAMM yet, you might have a problem with shadow passwords.
