by When disconnecting the NIS client from the network,
root (and any other local account before "+" in /etc/passwd)
cannot login, because the client tries to contact the NIS server:
yp_match: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out
YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: No bound server for domain xxx
Login incorrect
Is this OK? Root's password is not propagated through NIS,
it's in the local /etc/passwd (/etc/shadow), so there is
no need to call the NIS-server.
When running NIS, one cannot do a console login with a
broken network connection?
We are using SuSE 5.1 (ypbind 3.3, libc 5.4.33, Kernel 2.0.33).
Thanks for any hints.
