Question NIS and FTP

FTP services are running, and so is NIS. Telnet interacts fine with NIS. When we go to that system via FTP, it looks at the local /etc/passwd for authentication.

How do we get that internal system to us NIS/YP for FTP authentication?

If the passwd line in the nsswitch.conf has nis and/or yp in it, then ftp should use that for authentication.

If files is before one of those, then it will first look in the passwd file. If a match is found it uses that; if not it should check nis.

You may want to look at the /etc/ftp/ftpusers file.
