NIS and Informix

[CLIVE BASS]

I have implemented NIS in our development environment and now users without entries in the local passwd file are getting "25590 Authentication Error" when they try and use dbaccess.

All users are able to log on to the system OK, it just seems to be Informix not checking the NIS database.

I have tried changing /etc/nsswitch.conf to direct passwd requests to NIS and then to the local passwd file but this doesnt help.

Any assistance would be much appreciated,
Thanks,

Clive

Problem Sorted . . . .

It appears that Informix needs to have an entry in the password file of :-

+::-260001:::

and the passwd entry in the /etc/nsswitch.conf
set to compat (passwd compat)

The documentation I have explains this is for Pre 10.30 compatability . . . .

Nice!
