similar to: NIS/Samba update

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:

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 have both linux and solaris NIS client against a Solaris NIS Server, but my linux box are shamefully slow compare to solaris some sample: on Solaris 5.8: # ypwhich transporter02.domain.com # time id userid uid=36923(userid) gid=36923(u_036923) real 0.0 user 0.0 sys 0.0 on Linux: [root at linux]# ypwhich transporter02.domain.com [root at amsdc2-n-s04taw root]# time

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:

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? ?

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

So I configured my Enterprise 5 server to have NFS configured on specific ports via the NFS Server menu option. Since having done that, I am unable to get my two CentOS 5 workstations to bind via YP. One worked just fine before the port reconfiguration, but broke after. The other never worked fine. NFS works fine on both, but NIS will no longer bind. What do I need to change on the client

nis works well: #ypcat -k auto.home user1 server1:/path/& autofs works well: #cd /home/user1 (no problem) compliled with "configure --with-automount": #smbd -b| grep -i automount * WITH_AUTOMOUNT WITH_AUTOMOUNT * Why doesn't samba read ypcat auto.home? see below for additional detail,,,,it's a rebus! Let the best man win! :) maybe

I have a server which is a samba PDC and has recently been converted to an NIS client. For historic reasons, many users login information is in the local machine's /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files. samba is set up to use a tdbsam database. I got the first indication of problems when I tried to add a user using the smbpasswd -a command. I found that smbpasswd would not recognize the user

I would be grateful if anybody could supply some more information on the 'nis homedir' option (Samba 1.9.17a4). We have home directories spread over several Samba hosts. Although they can be accessed via 'amd' from any other server it would be a great benefit to be able to guarantee that all connections were made directly to the correct server. The man page looks promising but I

Hello eveyone, Thanks in advance, for what every help you can provide me :) I'm trying to get Winbind to work at home, but I seem to be getting nowhere awfully fast. Here's my situation. I have a server (Redhat 9.0) called Mail... which acts as SAMBA PDC, NIS/NFS, MAIL, DNS and DHCP server. In addition, I have two other servers setup. 1 is an Windows 2000 standalone server, that

I've been scouring the web and have picked up bits and pieces, but nothing concrete on this issue. I currently have a samba server that is set up to use NIS from another server. What I'd like to do is either a) convert the ypcat password list into a smbpasswd file or b) just use smbpasswd to create entries for a few users. In other words, I want the smbpasswd file to provide passwords

I've attached a perl script that I wrote to build smbpasswd from /etc/passwd. Please note that this writes a samba-2.0 format smbpasswd file. This script will: # - create accounts that exist in /etc/passwd and not in smbpasswd # - remove accounts that exist in smbpasswd and not in /etc/passwd # - preserve existing password, flags and LCT fields in smbpasswd # - sets new account passwords to

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

I'm having a problem with automount (autofs) from a server running CentOS 5.4 to clients (example is CentOS 5.4). Client pulls automount maps from NIS. THIS particular server is also used for login so it is NIS bound as well (other servers are NOT). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NIS Server Side...

Thanks in advance for your patience and assistance. Since a system administrator's work is most successful when nobody knows you've done anything....(ugly that...you get neither raises nor equipment funding as a result), I prefer to learn from other's experiences rather than fail in the same pits. We are considering a switch from UW to Dovecot, since our users persist in using

I am working in an environment with an HP-UX NIS that my Red Hat ES 4.x system is using for Unix access controls. My Red Hat system is serving as an NFS server for the HP-UX users who also could be Windows users coming from a Windows Server 2003 active directory. I have tested some configurations of SAMBA using winbind, but I don't get the results I want. What happens when using winbind

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

Greetings, I'm using 2.0.0-alpha13 on Solaris (compiling with gcc 2.8.1 on Solaris 2.5, running on 2.5, 2.5.1, and 2.6). I see this in the smb.conf.5 man page: nis homedir (G) Get the home share server from a NIS (or YP) map. For unix systems that use an automounter, the user's home directory will often be mounted on a workstation on demand from a remote
