Cant change users default shell from the NIS passwd map with an entry like these in the passwd file: +::::::/bin/bash or +username::::::/bin/bash Instead the users are still starting with the ksh shell as set in the NIS map. This a problem with PAM configuration or a bug with YP/NIS? (This works on our HP-UX boxes, btw) *Brandon Darbro brandon.darbro.com
This may be related to the problem that I've observed where if the NIS server goes down, even users in /etc/passwd (i.e. root) cannot login to the box. And the root user is not even in the NIS passwd map. Lamont Granquist lamont
you need to be using the compat mode in /etc/nsswitch.conf
