I'm having several problems setting up nis on my
system I have 4 computers that I am trying to setup
nis on. The roles I would like my computers to play
are as follows Freebsd1 Server, Freebsd2 Slave,
Freebsd3 Client, and Freebsd4 Client. I have been
trying to set up NIS according to what the FreeBSD
hand book says several times but all with no luck. Ok
here's is another thing I’m new to FreeBSD so I don’t
know how to use vi and vipw very well so I always use
Pico or edit instead please let me know if I am
causing the problem by not using these programs. Also
if you notice I have missed anything please let me
know. I am not going to explain freebsd4 because
freebsd3 is the same as it. Everything I typed in is
after a fresh install of FreeBSD this is no other
programs running except what is listed in /etc/rc.conf
Also Please Type in the exact command needed to fix my
problem if at all possible as I have stated before I
am new to FreeBSD so please assume I don’t know.

This is my output of /etc/rc.conf on Freebsd1

The handbook then tells you to type a couple simple
things into the server
1. nisdomainname="compulinux.org"
2. nis_server_enable="YES"
3. nis_yppasswdd_enable="YES"
after doing that Instead of running /etc/netstart I
just reboot
then run the following commands
# cp /etc/master.passwd /var/yp/master.passwd
# cd /var/yp
# edit master.passwd
Removing all sytem account
# chmod 600 master.passwd
freebsd1# ypinit -m compulinux.org
Server Type: MASTER Domain: compulinux.org

Creating an YP server will require that you answer a
few questions.
Questions will all be asked at the beginning of the
procedure.

Do you want this procedure to quit on non-fatal
errors? [y/n: n]

Ok, please remember to go back and redo manually
whatever fails.
If you don't, something might not work.

At this point, we have to construct a list of this
domains YP servers.
freebsd1.compulinux.org is already known as master
server.
Please continue to add any slave servers, one per
line. When you are
done with the list, type a <control D>.
        master server : freebsd1.compulinux.org
        next host to add: freebsd2.compulinux.org
        next host to add: ^D
The current list of NIS servers looks like this:

freebsd1.compulinux.org
freebsd2.compulinux.org

Is this correct? [y/n: y] y

freebsd1.compulinux.org has been setup as an YP master
server without any errors

I then edit /var/vp/Makefile and make NOPUSH = TRUE to
#NOPUSH = TRUE
after that i normally reboot just to make sure all
changes have taken place. I then add users to the
system by typing

# freebsd1# adduser
Use option ``-silent'' if you don't want to see all
warnings and questions.

Check /etc/shells
Check /etc/master.passwd
Check /etc/group
User ``+'' has gid but a group with this gid does not
exist.
Usernames must match regular expression:
[^[a-z0-9_][a-z0-9_-]*$]:
Enter your default shell: bash csh date no sh tcsh
[bash]:
Your default shell is: bash -> /usr/local/bin/bash
Enter your default HOME partition: [/home]:
Copy dotfiles from: /usr/share/skel no
[/usr/share/skel]:
Send message from file: /etc/adduser.message no
[/etc/adduser.message]:
Use passwords (y/n) [y]:

Ok, let's go.
Don't worry about mistakes. I will give you the chance
later to correct any input.
Enter username [^[a-z0-9_][a-z0-9_-]*$]: nutso
Enter full name []:
Enter shell bash csh date no sh tcsh [bash]:
Enter home directory (full path) [/home/nutso]:
Uid [1001]:
Enter login class: default []:
Login group nutso [nutso]:
Login group is ``nutso''. Invite nutso into other
groups: guest no
[no]: wheel
Enter password []:
Enter password again []:

Name: nutso
Password: ****
Fullname: nutso
Uid: 1001
Gid: 1001 (nutso)
Class:
Groups: nutso wheel
HOME: /home/nutso
Shell: /usr/local/bin/bash
OK? (y/n) [y]:
Added user ``nutso''
Send message to ``nutso'' and: no root
second_mail_address
[no]:

nutso,

your account ``nutso'' was created.
Have fun!

See also chpass(1), finger(1), passwd(1)

Add anything to default message (y/n) [n]:
Send message (y/n) [y]:
Copy files from /usr/share/skel to /home/nutso
Add another user? (y/n) [y]:
Enter username [^[a-z0-9_][a-z0-9_-]*$]: viril29
Enter full name []:
Enter shell bash csh date no sh tcsh [bash]:
Enter home directory (full path) [/home/viril29]:
Uid [1004]:
Enter login class: default []:
Login group viril29 [viril29]:
Login group is ``viril29''. Invite viril29 into other
groups: guest no wheel
[wheel]:
Enter password []:
Enter password again []:

Name: viril29
Password: ****
Fullname: viril29
Uid: 1004

Due to the system not coping these two user to
/var/yp/master.passwd i manually copy then into
/var/yp/master.passwd Please let me know how to fix
that. after editing the /var/yp/passwd file i will
type in.

There will be no further questions. The remainder of
the procedure
should take a few minutes, to copy the databases from

freebsd2.compulinux.org has been setup as an YP slave

Don't forget to update map ypservers on freebsd1.
I then edit /etc/contab and put the following in it.
20 * * * * root /usr/libexec/ypxfr
passwd.byname
21 * * * * root /usr/libexec/ypxfr
passwd.byuid

Then I reboot that system then goto freebsd3

I edit /etc/rc.conf placing
1. nisdomainname="compulinux.org"
2. nis_client_enable="YES"
I edit /etc/master.passwd placing +::::::::: at the
end of the file
I edit /etc/group placing +:*:: at the end of the file
I then reboot that then run the commands

freebsd3# ypcat passwd
nutso:*:1001:1001:nutso:/home/nutso:/usr/local/bin/bash
viril29:*:1004:1004:viril29:/home/viril29:/usr/local/bin/bash

su: unknown login: nutso
freebsd3# su viril29
su: unknown login: viril29

Please let me know what i am doing wrong.

Thank You
