I recently setup NISenvironment in linux boxes. I use Redhat
9.0. I think the environment set up properly with a NIS master , a NIS
slave and a NISclient. From the NIS client machine I type the ypcat
passwd, I can see the newly added user accounts. But I can’t log in
using this testing account through ssh. Can anyone give me advice?
Thanks a lot.
Since he can do ypcat and see the result the problem is not iptables; if it were then ypcat would fail, too.
The likely problem is our good friend /etc/nsswitch.conf. Make sure that the passwd line included nis, i.e., it looks something like
passwd: files nis
If not, then make the appropriate change.
If nsswitch.conf is correct, then we need to start looking at the scope and asking some questions. Can you connect and login to a local (in /etc/passwd) accout? If not, the problem is more global than nis. But lets start with the switch file.

Actually rick, I had similar problems with rh9, NIS, and iptables as posted here http://info.ccone.at/INFO/Mail-Archives/redhat/Jul-2003/msg00806.html In broadcast mode i was able to use ypcat to list the nis maps although i never could authenticate as such a user. The problem was indeed iptables...
Whether or not this is the problem the poster is facing- well, let's just say we've all heard the complaints about posting sufficient info for proper diagnosis ;-) Hell, we don't even know if the original poster could login from the terminal, it just says he can't do it through ssh...
