NIS Authentication Issue
I am looking for some help with a NIS issue i am having.
I have a Scientific Linux master NIS server and 27 SL clients. My system was running perfectly. I am pretty sure it is just my useraccount, but am not 100% sure. If i change my NIS password on the master with yppasswd it changes it successfully and i can use it to log in to the server. But when i try on my clients my login password is my original password when i first ever created my account. but then if i do a sudo while logged in it uses my most recent password. I have tried it with another user account and it seems to sync uname and pass ok. but for my uname it isn't. I have tried ypmatch and getent tests and all things come back fine.. This happens on all of my workstations connected to the master. Very confused. I hope someone can she a light on my issue. Feel free to ask me any questions about my config. Thanks, Todd Sys Admin |
Some machines run a local caching daemon like nscd for ids. You'll need to kill that on your clients if you want NIS password changes to be seen immediately.
|
I checked both my server and my clients and nscd is not running.
I even tried removing my account and recreating it with the same uid and a different one. and i still can use my old old password. Uggh So Frustrating! Thanks, -T |
do you perhaps have a local account in /etc/passwd and /etc/nsswitch.conf is looking at 'files nis'?
|
Another update, it appears to only be SSH that is having the issue. i can log in to a client using Xwindows login screen....

Been w hile since I did NIS stuff but after you change your passwd on the master, can you examine your YP credentials from the slave to see if it has cached the change yet?

Stuart:
I looked in my /etc/password and i do not have a local account. I looked in my nsswitch and passwd, shadow and group are all "files nis" |
Ok i did a ypmatch todd passwd and got an listing of my creds.
Then went on server, changed password, even ran make in /var/yp to make sure it is pushed and it was. Went back on client and did same ypmatch and the password string is definately different. Still can not use my new password for SSH login.... XDMCP and console login works. but not ssh. :-( |
OK - so this looks to be nothing to do with NIS but more SSH, can you do an ssh with '-v -v' flags and post the output please.

OK - go onto boole (Hope you have root privs).
Login as root, su - todd. check you have a $HOME directory, you own it and have write perms into it. check the $HOME/.ssh is owned/grped for the user todd and the directory is 700. |

SOrry should have asked, can you provide long listing of .ssh directory as well. The output you gave from ssh suggests a id_dsa exchange is attempted but failed.
Perhaps you could put the content of id_dsa.pub into the boole:/home/staff/todd/.ssh/authorized_keys file? this may allow you in. |

sorry, here is the old .ssh directory... i just moved it so it would recreate...
