Hi,

I'm trying to impliment NIS under linux.  Currently, the server machine
I'm using is a RH6.0 box and the client machines are RH6.1

on the Client machines I have set in the nsswitch file the following
settings for passwd: group: etc...

passwd:     compat       
shadow:     compat
group:      compat

passwd_compat: nis
group_compat: nis
shadow_compat: nis

I have added the lines ( or similar )

+::::::
-fred
+craig:::::/home2/craig:
+

to my /etc/passwd file and yet the user includes/excludes still seem to
fail to work.

has anyone else tried implementing NIS under linux? does anyone have any
suggestions?  It all appears as if it *should* work :?

Cheers
Craig
