I setup the NetBSD machine to run as a YP client. ypmatch etc work so the machine is talking to server okay. I edited /etc/master.passwd and /etc/passwd and made the last line "+:" When I try doing "login" as user "bogus" it fails, even though user "bogus" is a valid account on the development machine. A "su bogus" fails with "su: unknown login bogus". A "passwd bogus" comes up with "Changing YP passwd for bogus" so it seems to me as if things should work okay. I ran "pwd_mkdb" over the master.passwd file but it doesn't like the "+:" so I suspect this is the problem. Anyone know what I am missing here ? thanks, Patrick.
