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: files nis group: files nis The problem is however that on the client, if I try to use the new data, it s...

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? ?

...Binding NIS service: ? [OK] But when I try to use any of the yp services, like ypwhich #ypwhich ypwhich: Can't communicate with ypbind This is usually blamed on ypbind not running, but ypbind is confirmed to be running #ps -ef | grep ypbind root 3033 1 0 15:11 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/ypbind ypcat also does not work #ypcat netgroup No such map net group.

I tried searching for (do_ypcall: clnt_call: rpc: timed "do_ypcall" is a NIS error message. (Previous NIS was called "yellow pages"; the "yp" in do_ypcall is a reference to that). Maybe you have "hosts: files nis" in

Hi, I compiled openssh 2.1.1p1 on Irix 6.2 with MIPS 7.2.1.2m compiler.

Hi all, Anybody help in fatching users from LDAP. like wbinfo -u from ads/domain in windows. ypcat passwd from NIS. Help!!!!!! Thank with regards, Kuldeep Kumar --

...recognize the user unless either the username was in the /etc/passwd file, or I changed /etc/nsswitch.conf from passwd compat TO: passwd files nis However, if I make the latter change, the user cannot log into any Windows machines that are controlled by my PDC. To allow logins, all I have to do is ypcat passwd | grep <username> >> /etc/passwd After this, the user can log in. Is there any configuration of samba that will allow it to properly recognize user data from the NIS map and not require the user to be listed in the /etc/passwd file? Simon

Hi! I've set up a Samba server (running winbind) as a Win domain member server. Users authenticated from win domain and mapped to NIS uids and gids. Everything was working well, but the next morning winbind stopped to respond. I reset it, so now I get wbinfo, ypbind (ypcat) results ok as before, but users suddenly cannot authenticate any more. My <client>.log files are empty, winbindd files say that server is not responding. [2004/09/28 14:00:10, 0] rpc_client/cli_pipe.c:rpc_api_pipe(435) cli_pipe: return critical error.

...ver. I assume, because I can't get my Winbind to work, I can't properly share my files, since I can't access neither the Samba Users or groups. On the Domain server, I've created a group called storage, and added the user Roberto to that group. When I go to the file server, if I do ypcat group, I see the group I created (I updated the YP database) If I do ypcat passwd, I see the users I created on the main server. On this same file server I share a directory called storage. Here's an extract of my smb.conf file: [storage] path = /storage valid users = @storage write list = @st...
