Hi ! NIS user.
I need help. I have setup my nis server and client. My nis client is
unable to login to nis server. At nis client, the login screen appear,
when I type user jane and the passwd which created in nis server.
the login screen dissapear and then appear.
I created user francisk, jane, joe and tom in nis server. all of them
are in the student group. But I did not create a netgroup. Is netgroup
necessary ?
Appreciate if anybody can help and provide solution or suggestion.
The procedure of my setup is as follow :
At NIS SERVER
----------------------
1) Install redhat 8
2) login as root user
3) create a usergroup called student
/usr/sbin/groupadd student
4) create users and add users to the "student" group
#/ usr/sbin/adduser joe
# passwd
add joe, jane and tom into student group
-----------------------------------------------------
# gpsswd - joe student
# gpsswd - jane student
# gpsswd - tom student
5) define nis domainname in network file
at /etc/init.d/network :
#set the nis domain name
domainname trident.com
5-1) create /etc/auto.home
franck amish:/export/home/&
jane amish:/export/home/&
5-2) update /etc/auto.master
/home yp:auto.home --timeout=60
6) setup /etc/yp.conf
domain trident.com server amish
7) at /etc/hosts include nis ver ip address in hosts file.
192.168.xx.xx amish
ypserver amish
8) configure NIS client deamon
chkconfig ypbind on
9) modify /var/yp/Makefile
10) Define NIS client access in /var/yp/securenets
allow local host connection
host 127.0.0.1
host 192.168.76.x
allow client workstation to access
host 192.168.76.42
255.255.255.0 192.168.76.42
11) build nis map files
ypinit -m
12) start ypserv and ypbind
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ypserv start
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ypbind start
13) I can see the hosts file but some hosts are duplicate when I do
"ypcat hosts"
14) check that I can match a map entry - ypmatch jane passwd
jane:$1$8TQfmb8G$o79.:502:503::/home/jane:/bin/bash
15) change nisplus to nis in all /etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd: files nis
shadow: files nis
group: files nis
hosts: files nis
ethers: files
netmasks: files
networks: files
protocols: files
rpc: files
services: files
bootparams: files
netgroup: nis
automount: files nis
16) start ypserv and ypbind
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ypserv start
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ypbind start
17) check auto home works
/etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs restart
18) restart naming services
/etc/rc.d/nscd
19) reboot
At NIS Client
------------------
1) /etc/init.d/network
domainname trident
2)/etc/ypcat
domain trident.com server amish
3)chkconfig ypbind on
4) reboot
5) Checking nis is working
# ypwhich
amish
6) check map is sharing
# ypcat hosts
