No problem to start ypbind, no problem to get the NIS information via `ypcat' or e.g. `id <userid>', no problem to do a `rlogin' from trusted hosts, but no chance to log in as a NIS user in any other way. The password always appears to be wrong. Could that be a problem with the special `crypt' algorithm compared to other UNIX systems? Is there any chance to get the whole thing run? Thnaks for any help! Konrad Heuer (kheuer@gwdg.de)
