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@pss.boeing.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@icopyright.com
you need to be using the compat mode in /etc/nsswitch.conf
