Hello,<br />
<br />
I have a number of linux hosts that I would like to connect with NIS.<br />
<br />
I got the ypserv program running fine on linux box 1, but when I try to login to linux box 2, the passwords do not work. As root, on box 2, I can however successfully run &quot;ypcat passwd&quot; and I see the password file from linux box 1 just fine. ypwhich returns the correct server name<br />
from linux box 1, and domainname returns the same domainname, in case you wondered.<br />
<br />
What am I missing here??<br />
<br />
Thanks for any pointers...<br />
