AIX NIS Client to Linux
Hi,
I have a trouble with configure NIS Client on AIX, my NIS server is on a Linux machine.
After configure, some old NIS account could login normally. However, after I create new account from NIS server, I could not login with the new account, but could only su to that account. And I could view the id information of that account.

Please help.

On the AIX server, does "ypcat passwd" contain the new password entry? Does "getent passwd <username>" return the same information? Does the new user's home directory exist on the AIX server? Is automount being used?

Hi,
"ypcat passwd" contains the new password entry and "getent passwd <username>" return almost the same but have no hash, just has an "x" .
I could login with others account, so I sure there is no problem with mounting.
Thank you for your reply, any suggestion please ?

I had an issue like this a long time ago...
from the command line of the AIX machine run these two commands

/usr/sbin/chypdom '-B' yourdomian

/usr/sbin/mkclient '-B' -S 'yournisservers.server.com'

then try logging in again as one of your users

(I ended up adding this to the crontab... (not the best answer) and 3 months later I reinstalled the OS)

Thank you for your help, however I wonder what the meaning when you said 3 months later you reinstalled the OS is.
Is there an absolute method for this ? Please help.

I didn't have to reinstall the OS, however I had a chance over a long weekend so I did.

There must be a better answer to this, but I'm not sure what that would be.
