NIS USERS

[Yajuvendra Singh]

Dear All,

I have created some 30 NIS users in HP-UX workstation, and I have nearly 20 clients connected to this workstation. I mounted the users filesystem in my local client machine. When I tried to login using the user id and password created in main HP-UX workstation it is getting failed.

Please help me to find out the way

Dear Yajuvendra,

check the #domainname also, and chech wether ths NIS daemons and rpc services are running in the server (ypserv, etc ) and clients too.

1. Have you set clients to use nis server??
check ypwhich. check if ypbind process is running or not.
check nsswitch.conf-does it allow for looks in nis??

2. On clients, are nis daemons running??
/sbin/init.d/nis.client start

Hi,

have you added a '+' at the end of passwd, group and hosts at the clients?

Please give us a feedback

hi singh,

1. check the ypbind and portmap service running

2. check the /etc/nssswitch.conf file
( example passwd: nis files )

3.check with password file which is refering to login ( u can use ypcat, or passwd -r nis )

4.kill the portmap and ypbind process. and restart the service
(/sbin/init.d/nis.server)
