NIS - Client Not loggin in
Friends n Gurus
I am creating an NIS farm(Solaris only) in my office. I have successfully configured the NIS master and slave servers and a few NIS clients.
However i am not able to log into a few of my NIS clients. The commands "ypcat passwd" is displaying the NIS user. However when i try to login,the terminal waits endlessly after i enter the login name. The password prompt doesn't come at all.
Once i stop the yp services,i am able to login using the local authentication.
Pretty confused! As to what could be the reason.
I reiterate that the NIS commands like "ypwhich",ypcat all display relevant information. Only when i log in from a new terminal i face this issue.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
HG
