How to change the order of authentication in aix?
I have an AIX system configured as NIS client.
I have an local user on the system called "batman" and i have a user by the same name in NIS as well.
Now when i try to login with Batman user, the local batman gets in.
How do I tell the AIX machine to authenticate Batman as NIS user?
Things work out if I just delete the local user.
