Hello!
I just installed a FreeBSD 2.05R System and wanted to run it as a NIS
client with a SunOS 4.1.2 Server (SparcServer 690MP).
- According to Fred Gilhams posting a couple of days ago I installed the
DES package (without the kerberos stuff) along with the general system
setup.
- After doing all the sysinstall provided installation I added
'nisclient="-s"' in /etc/sysconfig.
- According to Bill Pauls postings I added '+:::::::::' to
/etc/master.passwd, rebuilt the databases and added '+:::' to
/etc/group.
- I uncommented 'nis' in /etc/host.conf and rebooted the
machine.
Result: Usernames imported from NIS are known, i.e. the server is asked,
BUT ... 'login' dumps core with seg.fault. (cron too, btw.). No chance
to log in.
I rebooted single user, deleted all the NIS stuff, rebooted again and
'login' works like a charm.
The machine runs as nfsclient and -server without problems.
What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
-Walter
