    Hello,

    I am attemting to convert two Tru64 Unix v5.1A to be NIS clients account
    for logins. The master and slave servers are two Red Hat 7.3 Linux
    boxes. I used nissetup to configure them and have modified
    /etc/svc.conf for the auth, passwd,and group entries to incude yp for
    searching. Running ypcat passwd outputs the passwd file from the master
    but I cannot seem to login using the password configured on the NIS
    master. When I login to the Tru64 Unix boxes, I am using the default
    shell that is configured in NIS and my home directory has changed to
    reside on the NFS server (also an NIS master passwd file setting) but I
    have to use the non-NIS (i.e. the local) password to login to the Tru64
    Unix boxes.

    I am running enhanced security for account management with BigCrypt, but
    switching to basic security didn't help either. Any ideas? Do I need
    to use a different security level/encryption?

    Regards,
    Bill Antoniadis
