NIS users cann't login on AIX and HP
Hey,
I've set up a NIS domain with linux as master-server, slave server and clients ... and Linux works fine.
To that NIS domain I tried to add a HPUX 11.00 and an AIX 4.3.3 system (till now - there should be more clients in final version). And both systems now have to same problem:
I can "su - nisuser", but cann't login via telnet. Telnet brings "invalid user/passwd". Also I cann't find any logfile on the systems which points to that problem.
ypwhich and "ypcat passwd" brings both the correct output.
any ideas? more information needed?
thx

ypwhich
YPWHICH(1) BSD General Commands Manual YPWHICH(1)
NAME
ypwhich -- return hostname of NIS server of map master
SYNOPSIS
ypwhich [-T] [-d domain] [[-h] host]
ypwhich [-fTt] [-d domain] [-h host] -m [mname]
ypwhich -x
DESCRIPTION
ypwhich tells which NIS server supplies NIS services to a client, or which is the master for a map. If invoked without arguments, it gives
the NIS server for the local machine. If host is specified, that machine is queried to find out which NIS server it is using.
The options are as follows:
-d domain Specify a domain other than the default domain.
-f When used in conjunction with -m, force ypwhich to query host directly, without using the local copy of ypbind(8).
-h host Specify a host other than localhost to query for information.
-m [mname] Find the master NIS server for the named map. mname can be a map name or nickname. If mname is omitted, ypwhich will produce a
list of available maps.
-T Use TCP protocol instead of UDP.
-t Inhibit translation of map nicknames to their corresponding map names.
-x Display the map nickname table, found in /var/yp/nicknames. A built-in default translation table is used if /var/yp/nicknames
does not exist (see nicknames(5) for details).
EXIT STATUS
ypwhich exits with a non-zero exit code if -m is used, and there was a problem in determining the map's master.
