similar to: NIS/YP revelation (I think)

I am having no luck getting NIS to work on a clean install of CentOS 6. It seems to be an issue with ypbind. I have simple /etc/yp.conf which explicitly sets the server domain myDomain server myServer The service seems to start okay #service ypbind start Starting NIS service: [OK] Binding NIS service: ? [OK] But when I try to use any of the yp services, like ypwhich #ypwhich ypwhich:

I have RHEL5 Server originally configured and installed by me with Firewall enabled, but passing through NFS, Samba, and SSH. I then disabled SELinux. As you all likely recall, I had configured a test environment to get samba and nfs/nis up and running. I got it going, and recently brought it to a production server. After modifying the files on the production server and rebooting, I'm

Hai, ? Im just wondering, im installing a bit again, checking my scripts etc. Lots of things most of us know, but just for history and others im typing it out. ? I noticed te following. Lots of things work or dont work base on : ? ?????? hostname - show or set the system's host name ?????? domainname - show or set the system's NIS/YP domain name ?????? ypdomainname - show or set the

So, now I see why I was doing the fw 2 fw rule. It was for my YP/NIS usage. Does anyone know how I get that to work?

Hello all. You might understand by now that I''m experimenting with shorewall on my FC3 (kinda) system. It''s a two interfaced system, with the internet on eth0, net, and the local network on eth1, loc. the machine fw runs shorewall 2.0.10 right now. The thing is that I want to try to use NIS/YP on the local machines and have fw run the ypserv. Furthermore, I''d like

Hello listmates, I have discovered a very strange SFTP problem which I can not connect to anything but NIS thus far. See here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/sftp-seems-to-fail-for-nis-accounts-under-openssh-5-x-816020/ http://readlist.com/lists/suse.com/suse-linux-e/38/193419.html Hence the question: is NIS (YP) still in use much anywhere for authentication? Thanks.

If a host is running NIS (passwd file ends in +::0:0:::) authentication, will dovecot be able to authenticate with auth_userdb = passwd directly and automagically or do you have to do a ypcat passwd > pwfile periodically to generate a passwd file that dovecot can use? ?

Hi Did anyone managed to configure RHEL 6 beta to authenticate using NIS? During the installation the option to use NIS as authentication method is disable. When I tried to install with yum, I got the following message: Installed size: 222 k Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/rhel/beta/6/i386/os/Packages/yp-tools-2.9-8.1.el6.i686.rpm: [Errno 14] PYCURL

Hi All. I am working on bringing back a number of Centos 7 rigs in our student computer lab back online. No change was made to the existing server machine [running Scientific Linux 6] Right now there is one remaining thing to resolve: an inconsistency with the rigs' NIS Clients. I have configured rcpbind and ypbind following guidance from Server World (

Hi I use NIS om my network (CentOS4.6). When an update on a map occurs (home directory changed in /etc/passwd for instance), I run make -C /var/yp/ and check the result on a client. On the client I use "ypcat passwd" and find indeed that the update has propagated (the clients run ypbind service). On the client I have configured /etc/nsswitch.conf with : passwd: files nis shadow:

Hello Everyone, I am pretty new on this SAMBA list, so greetings! I have a technical question about the relation of SAMBA and YP (Yellow Pages/ NiS) I´ve been learning on how to make my Firewall/proxy solution (based on FREEBSD/PfSense) to have a trust-relationship with the Microsoft AD/Domain so I can have Single Sign-on with NTLM/Kerberos integration. PfSense has the YP (Yellow Pages) disabled

I seem to have this very odd issue with CentOS 6 WRT NIS. I have taken the package selection that I used with CentOS 5 and basically plopped it into my C6 kickstart file (see below). On C5 this works just fine and I'm able to log in with NIS credentials just fine. However, it looks like on C6 if you use a package selection like this, you also need to specify the yp-tools package as part of

I have an entry in root's crontab: #ls -1 /etc/RCS|sed "s~\(.*\),v~\1~"|while read file; do ls -la /etc/$file|ci -q -l /etc/$file ;done Error output I received: do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = No route to host YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = No route to host YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound

Hi. I have for a while been trying to get my samba 2.2.1a PDC to be a NIS master and still maintain the password sync feature, without any luck. Now I made something that seems to work - but I would like to get your input to see if what I do is ok or it is something I should'nt do. 1: Samba uses passwd to sync the password (not yppasswd) 2: cron runs make in /var/yp every 15 minutes to

I have the following on a network: 1) RHEL 5.0 Server acting as NIS and Samba domain controller 2) CentOS 5.x machines on NIS network 3) Win XP machines on Samba domain When I create an account for someone, I need to first type adduser new_person -d /home/new_person then passwd new_person, then cd /var/yp and make. ? ?Then smbpasswd -a new_person. ? Thus, two different databases. On

Hi all, I believe that I have asked this in one form or another, but I did not see an answer. ( it could be that I missed it ) do please forgive me if I did, but could I ask you all to humor me for a moment. Is there any way to get Samba to use YP ( NIS ) as the basis for user authentication? If not at this time ( as I have not been able to determine that it is

We just updated our configuratiosn to have multiple NIS servers, when we initiated a test of client failover, we were disapointed. It seemed that the only way to get a filaover was to /etc/init.d/ypbind restart. It behaves as indicated in http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5084845 using ypbind-1.17.2-13 on Centos 4.5 / Linux xxxxxxxxxxxx 2.6.9-55.0.12.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Nov

I normally try not to ask questions until I have done as much research as possible, and again, this is the case... Just after I thought I had my RH5 samba/nis server working fine, I come across the inability to update nis passwords. >From the server as root: passwd guest1 Changing password for user guest1. New UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: NIS password could not be changed.

Hi, I have a class to add users to all the host servers. We are in the process to have a coexisting user which belongs in NIS & as well as /etc/passwd. We have NIS clients (yp running) on all host servers. So when running puppet is fails to add or modify user, bcos the user already exists in NIS. Eg: A user pcruise is an existing NIS user. When using useradd or
