I've got a HP-UX 11.0 machine that is a nis client. Now when I try to log on vie telnet everything works fine. When I try to log in via ReflectionX or Xwin32 I get an error message that the login is incorrect?
/usr/bin/X11/xset: bad font path element (#40), possible causes are: Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions Directory missing fonts.dir Incorrect font server address or syntax
In the other two files there is nothing worth to mention it. Just a NFS error to an other machine
The fonts error are ok. Do you have absolutely nothing in $HOME/.dt/errorlog and syslog?
Is processes dtlogin running? Is your reflection settings correct? Particularly the hardcoded user names and passwords if any. (Reflection has a setting that allows you store user name and password for logging)
First do not give points untill your problem is resolved.
Now onto the problem. What makes you think that cde/gui login is not able to get to nis. From the pc where you run reflection, can you do nslookup on ip and hostname of hp-ux server? Is that nslookup correct? I am still doubtful that you should really be checking stored user names and passwords in reflection.
All settings seem to be correct. the password does not have special characters and is not more than 8 characers long.
I can log in via telnet with nis users and local users(those that have an entry in the local passwd file) I can log in via Reflection with local users but NOT with nis users. So it seems that the cde login does not ask the nis Server for user authentication. It only looks in the local /etc/passwd. Now I have to find a way to force the cde login to act like the normal login -> first look in your local /etc/passwd then contact nis server.
So there is no problem with the passwords or with dtlogin process not running or such stuff. dtlogin just does not act like expected. So my question is which steps are made during the dtlogin? which programs are used and where can I configure it. maybe there is a equivalent to nsswitch.conf for dtlogin process? Maybe there has to be another sign then '+' in the /etc/passwd file or mabe its just a bug in HP-UX (I have a HP-UX 11.11 box too and this is working with exactly the same settings)
Now you explain. To allow nis users access +username or + (all users shold be there.) But al need to have /etc/nsswitch.conf configured correctly. And this would apply to telnet/ssh/reflection (any login) method.
But the problem is that for every non graphic method(telnet,ssh,..) it works fine. For every graphic method (reflection, xwin32) it doesn't work. So I have no Idea why.
