All other checks with ypwhich, ypcat, etc do also work. But I can't login on the client with the password that is valid on the server, I get "Login incorrect". I wrote a small C programm to use getpwnam(3) on the client, it works and receives the crypted password from the server. So, what is wrong? Why can't I login on the client?
