I have a machine on which I want only a small subset of my users to have a valid shell...
Under debian 1.3, I made an NIS netgroup called 'admin' with these users in it, and put the following entries in /etc/passwd [EMAIL PROTECTED]::0:0::: +::0:0:::/bin/false So that users in the admin netgroup This doesn't seem to work under debian 2.1... the [EMAIL PROTECTED] entry doesn't seem to do anything. Since I use nis, my /etc/nsswitch.conf is as below. From the glibc documentation I can't seem to figure out how to get netgroups working... Is there a solution to this problem, or is this yet another case where linux doesn't seem to implement NIS netgroups? Thanks for the help. (Flames for using NIS will be sent to /dev/null, they are not relevant to the discussion) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ # /etc/nsswitch.conf # # Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality. # Information about this file is available in the `libc6-doc' package. passwd: compat group: compat shadow: compat hosts: files dns nis networks: files protocols: db files services: db files ethers: db files rpc: db files netgroup: nis ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Richard W Kaszeta Graduate Student/Sysadmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] University of MN, ME Dept http://www.menet.umn.edu/~kaszeta
