NIS+ login problem

Alex Lavrov. — Mon, 08 Aug 2005 03:49:37 GMT

Hello,

I'm testing NIS+ on my server and faced this problem. If I use a new user (step-by-step from the book) on the NIS+ server, it works fine on the clients, no problem so far.

But if I use nispopulate, to populate the files with existing users, I can't login with them on clients. I checkd the credentials and they exists, because nispopulate creates them. I tried to change the password, but it still doesn't work. I think I'm missing something, because with a new user created with "nistbladm" it works, so the configuration of server and client must be ok. the problem only exists with users that I imported with nispopulate.

Thanx.

The system is not trusted ...

How this patch will solve the problem?

Hi

It gives a better version of the software.

Always use last version although it never clearly documents all fixes.

You are looking for something which may have been fixed already.

Hi,
To verify that your tables have been populated successfully, issue the niscat command for several standard tables. The
standard tables are listed in Standard NIS+ Tables. The following example lists the contents of the NIS+ passwd table:

hpux# niscat passwd.org_dir.class.hp.com

After playing and trying again and again, I just decided to empty the tables, nispopulate again and it worked.

Probably the first time I messed up the credentials or something....

Thanx to all.
