NIS setup question

2002-09-28 Thread Neal Lippman
I don't think I understand the NIS Howto. I was left with the impression that with libc6 installed, I would not need ypbind because libc6 knows about NIS all by itself. I have set up another system as an NIS server (running ypserv), but my client system cannot seem to see the information from th

Could be a couple things...the /etc/passwd file on the client machine needs "+::" put in it in order to recognize the NIS server accounts. Also, I seem to recall that only uids > 1000 are allowed by default when using NIS, in Debian, but it's been a while and I can't test this anymore. I
