I'm trying to get a Linux NIS client working with my AIX NIS server.
I know the server is configured correctly at least for the other
clients, which are all AIX machines also.
The Linux box is running Linux 1.3.64, libc 5.2.18, and
yp-clients-2.2. `ypcat passwd` gives the passwd map correctly from
the server, with all the encrypted password strings exactly as they
should be. However, login wont let any of the users login. Closer
investigation revealed that getpwnam(3) is returning "*" in
p->pw_passwd instead of the encrypted string.
So what am I doing wrong? I'm assuming this is a problem with libc
being configured incorrectly. Any ideas? All
help/comments/suggestions/ideas appreciated. Thanks in advance.
