Re: NIS user problem

Has this stuff ever worked in the past, or is
this a new installation/configuration?

HP-UX version?

Re: NIS user problem

Hi everyone . Sorry for such a late reply , I was sick for a few days.
Robert ├в What do you mean when you say shell is missing a step?
The home dir is not a NFS.
I think that compat mode will solve the problem but this is not a good solution for me since I have to much NIS users that use this server.
Steven ├в I cant say if this worked before or not but this is not a new installation. It is HPUX 11.11 and I do have a + at the end of passwd .
Dennis ├в what does it mean real shell and not real shell?

To everyone , I think it might be a patch problem ( I dont have a patch management policie on the server ) . Any suggestions in what to look in the patch description?

Thanks to every one,
Leonid.

This was in answer to Steven's "you aren't using some obsolete shell which ...?"

Either ksh or the Posix shell sh. The later, /sbin/sh, must be the shell for root.
The opposite of a real shell is the scummy csh.
