The machine is on the net and running fine, the domain is set and ypbind works. I can ypcat all the maps and have got the hostname lookup using yp. But I can't get the passwd or group maps to work, I can ypcat the passwd map but can't add it to the passwd file for logins. If I use vipw to add a + entry to the passwd file, it complains that the entry is invalid and won't add it. Is there a special way of adding the yp entry to the passwd file?
