NIS (yellow page) - Client setup


Hi all!

I have the following problem:

I do have a ypserv NIS server set up. I hope correctly.

I can bind to the server from the client using ypbind. It starts OK. Here is the problem:

At the graphical login, the client will display all the users I set up on the server, as its supposed to. It won't let any of them log in though!

If I try to log in as any of the users not created locally at a command line, my system logs the following:
Quote:
9 18:57:35 steave login: FAILED LOGIN 1 FROM /dev/tty3 FOR UNKNOWN, User not known to the underlying authentication module
This is a fragment of the clients nsswitch.conf:
passwd: compat
group: compat
shadow: compat

passwd_compat: nis
group_compat: nis
shadow_compat: nis

What else should I have a look at?? Please help!

Steave.
