hello,
I have problem in adding new user in the ypserver. After adding new user
in /usr/var/yp/src/passwd and /usr/var/yp/group, I go /usr/var/yp to do:
prompt>make
Followed by making new directory for the user and changing
the owner by:
prompt>chown -R username:diskname username
to be more specific:
prompt>chown -R sharon:usr2 sharon
I got this error message:
chown: unknown username sharon
I further tried by doing this:
prompt>su - sharon
and the message is:
Unknown login: sharon
Other information:
Early this year the hostname of our DEC 3000 was changed and I don't
really recall adding new user till this problem occured. (I have made the
neccessary changes, I hoped. I may miss out something that I do not know.)
The O/S was changed from OSF 3.2 to OSF 4.0D
(Will the upgrade affects the yp?)
I do not know if my above procedure is the correct way to add new user.
This method have been taught by my colleague, and I hope is the right
method.
I hope this information given is sufficient.
Thank You.
Regards
Edwin Chow
