In a computer lab at work... >From rc.conf in my master server:

All the accounts on the server have their home directories in /usr/home ypcat passwd returns the passwd list, ypwhich returns the master server name, chpass (usernameon server) returns the correct user's master.passwd entry. I've placed the correct punctuation at the bottom of the edited master.passwd file and in the /etc/group file. But.... None of my NIS server users can login on the client machine. For example: > su -l zooba su: unknown login: zooba And zooba is a valid login name/account on the NIS master. I use an NFS/NIS combination in my homenetwork where 3 laptops all wirelessly login to my NIS/NFS server. I remember it took some time to get it to work right, but it works just fine. I'm clueless as to what is wrong in the lab at work. Suggestions welcome.
