Same problem here with Mandrake 7.0 NIS Server. I have installed NIS on our Mandrake 7.0 Server today and it's the first time in my life I'm using NIS. I have configured a test installation of RH 7.2 and it worked. Then reinstalled the test system with skipjack-beta1 some hours later and wanted to try NIS with autofs. Didn't work, felt stupid, couldn't even login. Found the same "User account has expired" in /var/log/secure. Now I'm happy to know it wasn't me.
Can you try updating to authconfig-4.2.7 (in today's Raw Hide), running authconfig to get it to generate a new /etc/pam.d/system-auth, and see if that fixes things?
The updated authconfig RPM fixed it up. Users with accounts on the NIS server can login now. Thanks!
simon.matter: could you please also check that this update fixes it for you? I'm 99% certain that this it will, but I'd rather be sure before closing this report.
simon.matter: Any more info here? We need your input soon.
Adding simon.matter to the cc: list in hopes he adds more information.
Sorry, it seems everything slept at redhat last week so I didn't check bugzilla. I don't know why but I expected to be on the cc anyway :) I just reinstalled Skipjack-beta1 here with the autoconfig update and the bug is fixed! Thanks
Excellent! Marking as resolved->rawhide.
