NIS+ and trusted mode

[Janusz Iskrzynski_1]

HP-UX 11.0 with patches.
NIS+ working properly.
Master server.
I can?t convert a server to to trusted mode.
When I starting the daemon ttsyncd ( /sbin/init.d/comsec start)
I get an error:
?ttsyncd[1543]: ttsyncd.c: main(), Nis+ Password table does not exist?
and ttsyncd doesnt start.
niscat passwd.org_dir - working well.
Whot can I do ?

If you are using NIS+, it those not work in a trusted system mode. Check this from by searching for the word "trusted". You cann't convert to trusted system if you have NIS+ installed.

Than You, Chris but I think that You're wrong.
Manual "HP-UX 11_00_Managing Systems and Workgr.pdf" page 559 describe how set up NIS+ with Trusted Mode , but it doesn't work.

Hello,

NIS+ and trusted are supported.
I checked into the error message and found the message in the source code of ttsyncd.

I couldn't come up with a good reason why you see this message.

Did this ever work?

There is a ttsyncd patch available and you might consider putting this patch on, even I can't see a fix for exactly your problem.

Patch is PHCO_13719 s700_800 11.00 comsec (ttsyncd) patch.

Other than that I would check again into the configuration.

Here is some more info on that issue:

on www.docs.hp.com and search for ttsyncd.

One thing... this works only on HP-only environments, the limitation is here trusted and not nis+

I have just started working on NIS+ and trusted and had the same problem.

Reason appears to be due to nisserver creating directory for tables based on host name, but setting char. as lower case only. IE hostname NISPLUS creates /.../.../nisplus)

ttsyncd however refers to HOSTname when searching for passwd table and uses actual case of characters.

Hi Janus,

Did you figure this one out?? Two years back i tried setting trusted system on NIS+ systems. It didn't work; there were numerous issues (i don't remember the details now) and HP was working to resolve them at that time.
We prefered live with NIS+ alone.

I am not sure what the latest is on that front.
Ofcourse, even then the manual and docs stated that it is supported. So, i won't give too much credence to it.

Hi raj
I'm not sure if you are refering to me. Im not janus though.

My comments are my conclusions based on what I have observed in the embedded error responses.
Please dont take it to be an authoritive statement of expected behaviour.

I got ttsyncd to find the passwd table by creating a symbolic link between and

Hi Janusz,

You should have given 10 point to steve :-) I was facing the same problem and did what steve said. It works now.
