Hi All, I have a Solaris NIS Client that is trying to talk to a Linux NIS Server. The NIS Server (Redhat 7) work fine with all other Linux NIS clients (Slack / Deb etc) but won't work completely with Solaris. What do I mean? I have ypbind working on the Solaris. I can "ypcat passwd" and get what you would expect - an NIS list of all users passwd groups yada yada. So NIS is sorta working. The problem is that I can't login. The nsswitch.conf has the following (among other stuff) passwd: files nis group: files nis It is said that this has to do with mangling. I have that set to no. When I do ypcat passwd I get a "username:cryptic_codes:yada..." not x. My ypserv.conf has the following dns: no mangle: no * : shadow.byname : port : yes * : passwd.adjunct.byname : port : yes * : * : none Does anyone have any ideas. There are several emails up at google (formerly deja) where people have dealt with this, but no solutions were posted.. Thanks Steven M.
