Hello, I am trying to setup the NIS+ in our deptments local domain, but encountering issues. I should also add that I am new to setting up NIS+. When I try as a user: bash-2.03 rootdomain user1(id=2002)$ /usr/lib/nis/nisclient -u **WARNING: you do not have NIS+ credentials. You can either use NIS+ service as an unauthenticated user or ask your network administrator to create a credentital for you. So, I go to the root domain bash-2.03 rootdomain root# nisaddcred -p 2002 -P tmp.domain1.com local nisaddcred: LOCAL credentials with auth_name '2002' already belongs to 'user1.tmp.medtronic.com.' bash-2.03 rootdomain root# nisaddcred -p 2002 -P tmp.domain1.com des nisaddcred: unrecognized netname type: '2002'. nisaddcred: unable to create credential. When I let the user try from NIS+ client, I get: login: user1 Password: Password does not decrypt secret key (type = 192-0) for 'unix.2002@tmp.domain1.com'. Login incorrect login: What is that I missing to let this user logon successfully? Sundar __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier.
