Dear All,

Yes. The 11iV3 Release Notes ( http://www.docs.hp.com/en/5991-6469/ch06s13.html ) indicate NIS is available, with the following caution:

Obsolescence

NIS protocol version 1 (NISv1) is deprecated in this release and will be obsoleted in a future HP-UX release. HP recommends that you move to the next protocol version of NIS.

Hi,

You can configure HP-UX as a NIS client.

To configure an NIS client, follow these simple steps.
Use the domainname command to set an NIS domain name.
Edit the /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs file such that it contains the following lines.
NIS_CLIENT=1
NIS_DOMAIN=
After finishing this process, you can either reboot your system or run the following command.
/sbin/init.d/nis.client start

Hi all!

I am running an NIS Server with Linux. Now I want to configure a HPUX-Server to use this NIS Server. I have don all the configuration stuff exactly as described in the documentation.

When I run YPCAT passwd, I'll get the correct passwd entries from the server. And if I am doing an su - NISUSER, it works very well.

But if I want to log in as NISUSER directly via ssh or telnet, I'll get an login incorrect.
Is there any other way to resolve this problem?
