Problem with NIS Accounts

[Rene_17]

I have modified a Path at an Account. After that Sam asked me for an update and then on all Computers the Accounts don´t work any more.

Thanks Ren

Hi Ren,

I'm sorry, but I can't follow your explanation of what happened and what is now not working.

Are you saying that the NIS client cannot retrieve any NIS map information from the servers? Some other symptom?

Please provide a detailed explanation of what exactly changed, and exactly what works and doesn't work now.

Thanks,

Dave

Thanks for your attention, but I have solved the problem !

[Rene_17]

Hi !

Now the NIS System doesn´t work and I don´t know why !
I have updated the passwd.nis with new accounts !

[iff1:]/var/yp# ypcat passwd
ypcat: no such map in server's NIS domain

Can anyone help me !
This sucks me really !

Regards,

[Rene_17]

All NIS users are not accesable at the master server and all aother servers !

[Rene_17]

No NIS-Client can conncet to the server !
The Server is running.
The passwd.nis on the server is up to date !

[MarkSyder]

What does /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log show on the server?

Have you got backup copies of the amended files?

[MarkSyder]

Access denied for (ip address) does not look like the result of amending the passwd file. Any other files amended?

Expanding on my backup question, is there a recent (e.g. last night) backup tape available?

Mark

NB - I hope everyone admires my restraint. I haven't made a single joke out of "this really sucks me".

It strikes me that several files have today's date by them.

Unfortunately, we are at the limit of my knowledge of HP-UX's networking and I think it's time to hand over to someone better able to help.

Rene - have you thought of posting this in the networking section of the forums? The people best able to help you may not have seen this thread.
