Problems wNIS Clients in Compat Mode
I have (3) RHEL machines - (2) are RHEL3-I386 and other is RHEL4-AMD64. I'm using OpenAFS for authentication and using NIS to push out the pbuttword maps (noetc-shadow). I'm using NIS compat mode, using netgroups to specify user account access to each machine.
Here is theetc-nsswitch.conf I'm using on the RHEL3 machines:
pbuttwd: compat shadow: compat group: compat hosts: files nis dns
I'm trying the same thing on the RHEL4 machine, but I can't login or even su to another user as root. 'getent pbuttwd' shows all of the proper user ID's and 'groups username' brings up the proper NIS groups. 'su - username' returns "incorrect pbuttword".
Hello! I have problem with connecting to MysSQL server from radius. Versions are: freeradius-1.0.4-1.FC4.1 mysql-server-4.1.11-2 service radiusd restart gets this: Fri Feb 10 17:06:17 2006 : Info: Using deprecated...
Machine I am working on is an IBM x226, 2-way EM64T Xeon, with 2 Gigs of RAM presently installed. OS Installed is...
I get can around this problem by creating local users with locked-out pbuttwords. The problem with this is that they expire, causing the system to ask to change it (I don't want any local pbuttwords). I'm specifically using NIS because it won't expire pbuttwords; this is being controlled on the OpenAFS server side.
If I only had Linux machines I'd switch to LDAP in a heartbeat, but that's just not realistic at this point. I just can't figure out what RHEL4 did that RHEL3 didn't.
BTW - selinux is installed but disabled.
