Hello All,
I turned C2 off and NIS came up with no problem. It
seems that turning on C2 forces the system to used the
hashed passwd dir tree instead of the /etc file. In the
process of making this switch could it be clobbering or
disabling the switch telling the system to look for passwd
entries in NIS??? Any ideas how I make it work?
Thanks,
Karl

Hello all,
I am doing a new install of DU 4.0 on aa Alpha 3000/700.
All has gone smoothly except NIS.
-I have turned on C2 security.
-I ran nissetup with both the "s" and "S" options on.
When a new users added under NIS users tries to log in it fails.
Also if root su's to that name I get a no such user message.
I have checked the /etc/sia/matrix.conf, /etc/svc.conf files.
both the passwd and group files have the "+:" line appended as
per the directions.
I CAN do an niscat and see all the new information. It
appears that the system is not checking the NIS tables at all.
I beleive my problem lies in having C2 turned on. Or the
sequence in which I started C2 and NIS.
Any ideas, tips, help, debug checklist would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Karl
