NIS+ Linux client?

[David Nixon]

I know that Linux NIS+ client side
is compatible with a SUN NIS+ server and, in theory, should also be with my HP-UX master server ...
In practice though although my Linux client can download a NIS_COLD_START file from the HP, subsequent commands always fail with server unreachable errors.

By starting rpc.nisd with the -Av flag I can see the Linux cllent lookup request corresponding to

nisinit -c H

but when I then run nisstat on the client nothing is logged by rpc.nisd (this is not a Linux IP chains issue).

Can anyone tell me if the NIS+
combination of HP with Linux is known to work?

Regards,
David

just try the authconfig in redhat liux

I had limited success using
a NIS_COLD_START file generated by the Linux
client tools: could only get 'nisls' working.
