I am relatively new to FreeBSD but have quite a bit of experience with
NIS on Linux. I am currently working on connecting a FreeBSD 4.9 client
connection to NIS server running on OpenBSD 3.9. The ypcat commands are
working and I can see the passwd and group files, however when I attempt
to login to the machine I keep getting SSHD Illegal User Errors. The
type of behavior I am seeing would be common on a Linux machine that
uses nssswitch.conf to state which objects to pass authentication
through, but its missing the nis value for passwd: or group:. Looking
through the FreeBSD website I see that nssswitch was introduced in
FreeBSD 5.X. For previous versions of FreeBSD and NIS, are there any
additional configurations that need to be done? Possibly with PAM? I
have the following values in my /etc/rc.conf files:
Have you added special records to /etc/group and /etc/master.passwd files?
It should be +::: in /etc/group and +::::::::: in /etc/master.passwd.
Use vipw to edit password file.
nisdomainname="myNISdomain"
nis_client_enable="YES"
I have followed the FreeBSD NIS/YP Handbook configuration to the T, and
still get the illegal user authentication any insight would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks much,
DK
