Dear all,
Just a quicky I hope.
How do you add accounts on a DU system when NIS has been installed. I tried
adduser and it says that it can't do anything since NIS is being used. But I've
tried to look for a likely command, like ypadduser which works on the Ultrix
system we use. I can't even find anything in the manual pages.
The situation I find myself in is that the former system manager sort of left in
a hurry, and although he installed NIS and it appears to be working, I have no
documentation of what to do to add another user. So far I've got by with editing
the src files and "make"ing the group and password bits. But surely there is a
better way.
Regards,
Graeme
