I'm running a NIS on an network of Ubuntu 8.04 linux systems. I'm seeing a weird problem where the 'id' command is not returning all the groups I am a member of. For example:
So the symptoms are, specifiying the user in the 'id' command puts all the local groups at the end of the lookup instead of the beginning, and shows all the actual NIS groups that I'm a member of.
Has anyone seen this before? If there's any more info you need, please let me know.
My /etc/nsswitch.conf file is specifiying "group: nis files" for lookups.
Hi everyone,
I'm new to UNIX so plz excuse me if this sounds foolish
Assume there exists a group 'xyz' on the NIS as well as on the local UNIX box.
And we added the user 'test' to the local group.
Which group priveleges will 'test' have?
do reply..
thanks,
VJ. (3 Replies)

ypset
YPSET(8) BSD System Manager's Manual YPSET(8)NAME
ypset -- tell ypbind(8) which NIS server process to use
SYNOPSIS
ypset [-h host] [-d domain] server
DESCRIPTION
ypset tells the ypbind(8) process on the current machine which NIS server process to communicate with. If server is down or is not running a
NIS server process, it is not discovered until a NIS client process attempts to access a NIS map, at which time ypbind(8) tests the binding
and takes appropriate action.
ypset is most useful for binding a NIS client that is not on the same broadcast network as the closest NIS server, but can also be used for
debugging a local network's NIS configuration, testing specific NIS client programs, or binding to a specific server when there are many
servers on the local network supplying NIS maps.
The options are as follows:
-h host
Set the NIS binding on host instead of the local machine.
-d domain
Use the NIS domain domain instead of the default domain as returned by domainname(1).
