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

ypcat

ypcat(1)							   User Commands							  ypcat(1)

NAME

       ypcat - print values in a NIS database

SYNOPSIS

       ypcat [-kx] [-d ypdomain] mname

DESCRIPTION

       The ypcat command prints out values in the NIS name service map specified by mname, which may be either a map name or a map nickname. Since
       ypcat uses the NIS network services, no NIS server is specified.

       Refer to ypfiles(4) for an overview of the NIS name service.

OPTIONS

       -k	       Display the keys for those maps in which the values are null or the key is not part of the value.  None of the maps derived
		       from files that have an ASCII version in /etc fall into this class.

       -d ypdomain     Specify a domain other than the default domain.

       -x	       Display map nicknames.
