Setting up a linux NIS/YP client

Setting up a linux NIS/YP client

Post by John Corey » Fri, 08 Mar 1996 04:00:00



I am trying to connect some linux computers to a YP server running AIX.  
So far, I can do ypcat, or anything else and it lists the info.  But I
cannot login on any of the linux computers with a user that is only on
the YP server.

The AIX server does use shadowed passwords, so I was wondering, do I
perhaps have to use the shadowed passwd mods?  Right now I just tried the
yp client programs that came with slackware.  Are the shadow clients only
for a linux server, or would any ypserver apply?
