As long as I can remember, root logins have always been refused over network connections. If you want to login as root over a network (bad habbit, but ok for your own, private network I suppose) you have to specifically allow it in /etc/login.access. > reading about netgroup and creating /etc/netgroup with only + in it > and re-make the yp Makefile does not produce netgrp.byname etc > > Do I need netgroup and if so what am I doing wrong, Is this a problem > with having ELF on one box and aout on the other !!!!! If you're wanting to use NIS, you will need netgroup... are both systems members of the same NIS domain? Are you initializing the maps with ypinit -m on the master server? Are you running all essential daemons on both machines (namely, ypserv, ypxfrd and ypbind on the master server and ypbind on the client server(s))?
