nis client

[ramrod]

I am attempting to add an OSX client to our SGI nis network. I have applied most of the suggestions on this site, including the integration by bresink. I am able to contact my nis server, but any attempted pings or logins fail. ypwhich indicates the correct host and ypcat hosts list the host file on the master, but nothing works. Any suggestions? Thanks.

im very interested in how to get nis logins working so i can use consistent usernames and id numbers for file access to my sgi disk and nis server.

let me know how you get on please!

Did you guys get this working?

I am trying to get a eMac running OS 10.1.5 to be a nis client for my server with is running IRIX 6.5.15. However, I can not get the eMac to bind to the server.

no i havent really tried as our nis master when down! looking at ldap on a linux box which is easier for the macs to deal with anyway.

good luck!
