No it doesn't. I think that I now understand the problem: I can access the uids but not the hashed passwords. When I'm root I can su to anybody without any password verification. When I connect as a user, the credentials has to be checked and I do not have the NIS passwords.

If I uderstand, this should be done on the NIS server but I don't have an admin access to the server and even if I had I do not want to "unshadow" the passwords for the security reasons you mention later.

Yes I've already set up this and it works ok.


So any idea how I can fix the password problem ?

Thanks,
