Hi Maybe i'm more lucky with this question in net@, since NIS is a net service.
I've configured a NIS master server as descriped in the freebsd handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-nis.html). I copied master.passwd to /var/yp, removed all super and system users from master.passwd in /var/yp, chmod 600 master.passwd in /var/yp and initialized my NIS master server without any errors. ypcat passwd showed me a correct list with users. But the NIS password db will not be updated if i add any new user. I tried: pw useradd test1234 cd /var/yp make myusers `myusers' is up to date. My new added test1234 user is not added to/var/yp/master.passwd or /var/yp/passwd but test1234 was added to /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd. How can i updated the users for NIS?
