Before the upgrade, NIS+ would correctly reverse all group id's
but after the upgrade, only thoose that are in /etc/files will
be reversed.
nsswitch.conf has the entry
group files nisplus
just as passwd, which works...
Anynody else out there with this problem?
Anyone knows what to do about it?

This is a bug. Adding a new group gives us:Quote:> We have a small problem after the upgrade to Solaris 2.3!

eden{wib} niscat -o [name=testname]group.org_dir
Object Name : group
Owner : wib.cs.uni-kiel.de.
Group : admin.cs.uni-kiel.de.
Domain : org_dir.cs.uni-kiel.de.
Access Rights : ----rmcdrmcd----
Time to Live : 12:0:0
Object Type : ENTRY
Entry data of type group_tbl
[1] - [9 bytes] 'testname'
[2] - [0 bytes] '(nil)' <----
[3] - [3 bytes] '99'
[4] - [1 bytes] ''
This stupid 'nil' breaks the whole NIS+ group database.
A workaround is:
eden{wib} nistbladm -m passwd= [name=testname]group.org_dir
eden{wib} niscat -o [name=testname]group.org_dir
Object Name : group
Owner : wib.cs.uni-kiel.de.
Group : admin.cs.uni-kiel.de.
Domain : org_dir.cs.uni-kiel.de.
Access Rights : ----rmcdrmcd----
Time to Live : 12:0:0
Object Type : ENTRY
Entry data of type group_tbl
[1] - [9 bytes] 'testname'
[2] - [1 bytes] Encrypted data
[3] - [3 bytes] '99'
[4] - [1 bytes] ''
Now is works.

1. NIS compat mode (Solaris 2.3) for passwd doesn't work?
Ok, I have made some progress by adding the line
+
as the last line in /etc/shadow. Now I can su to the users in the
NIS database if I am root. However, if I try to su from a "normal"
account to a user in the NIS database I get the Password: prompt
allright (hooray, no more "no such user" errors!), but the system
won't accept the password.
I'm sure that the password is correct because it works on SunOS 4.1.3
machines. A simple password checker program that I wrote which uses
getpwnam() will also accept the correct password (and reject incorrect
ones:-). However, Solaris 2.3 su, login etc will not accept the password.
I must be doing something wrong but I just don't understand what it
could be.
