I can pull the passwd.byname and byuid files fine. If I NFS mount a volume of the SCO and do a 'ls -l' I can see the userids that own each file so I know the reverse lookup is working. If I do ypmatch userid passwd it shows me the correct line. But Ill be darned if a remove user can login. I put +::::::::: in /etc/master.passwd I did a chpass on a local user to get all the files created and in sync I modified login.c to show me what password string it pulled (ep) and the encrypted entered one (pw->passwd) - the encrypted entered one is fine - ep shows as just ':'. Im really stumped = One thing I note from the ypmatch userid passwd is that SCO sticks some junk at the end of the password field - a ,..DI or something close to that. Any ideas?
