Hi Doug!
Now I'll have changed the password and nisplus cred for a test user on the
nisplusserver.
"nisaddcred -p unix.<uid>@xxx.xx.xx -P <usernamn>.xxxx.xx.xx -l <password> des"
And the test user can login on the linux workstation but can't do niscat passwd.
And keylogin is the same as before.
Seems like I miss some step of the way(?)
Thanks,
Henrik
