1. root user can log in OK
2. Other users that log in (NIS authentication on another Workstation) get TFTP prompt instead of csh prompt.
3. rlogins from other computers to affected machine get same TFTP prompt
4. Locally-created user that doesn't use NIS off of remote computer work properly.
Help!

Re: NIS Users can't login, prompt shows tftp
+::-2:0:::tftp:*:510:1:Trivial FTP user:/usr/tftpdir:false
The /etc/passwd file on our other systems (running 11.00 or 11.11) show only:
++::-2:0:::
When we edit the /etc/passwd file on the affected system so that it looks like our other systems, it goes back to looking like the first version. There must be some daemon somewhere re-setting it back.

Re: NIS Users can't login, prompt shows tftp
Curious. A few weird questions:
1. Do you have any cron jobs that push out a password file?
2. Do you have some security program watching the passwd file?
3. When you fixed the file how long till it was changed? (i.e. can you see any pattern to the change?)
4. If you delete those two entries and put them back in does it happen again?
5. Do you have some unprintable character in the passwd file? (Do a cat -v /etc/passwd | more and pay close attention to those lines)
Have a happy HP day!
Larry

Re: NIS Users can't login, prompt shows tftp
Now, for the big points, how did this entry end up like this at the end of the passwd file in the first place?

Re: NIS Users can't login, prompt shows tftp
It's a good practice to run password checker after everytime a password file is modified just to make sure the syntax is correct.
# man pwck
for details.
