Hi All, I have just installed NIS server and clients packages on my two MDK8.0 machines. NIS server is found on client boot OK.
I have tried diff configurations of the /etc/passwd (client) file but I have problems. If I add +:::::: to the first line and +username::::::, the username can log in but they canot do anything as the error 'I do not know who you are' is returned by the shell. Can anyone send me a example of the passwd file. I am using shadow passwd. Having read he howto on NIS, I am not sure whether this is the problem. Also, when I log in via KDE, I have two of each user listed...can someone explain? I want to get NIS working as I have to add another client and also a Windows client so passwords need to be managed better than the moment. Thanks, Dave
