[BBLISA] NIS logins - directory doesn't seem to appear

[Scott Ehrlich]

I'm in the home stretch of recreating my working test environment with Samba 
and NIS/NFS working from the same server (RHEL 5 Server) and CentOS 5/ WinXP 
w/SP2 as clients.

Samba works perfectly as a PDC.

I was able to succcessfully initiate a ypyinit -s server on the client and the 
dtaa came through fine, and accounts on the server were created, but when I try 
to log in to a client (all on the production side), CentOS complains the 
yp-based account /home/testuer doesn't seem to exist and threatens to log me in 
as root.

I got past this during my test trials by adding +:: related lines in /etc/group 
and /etc/passwd on the client.   Repeating this on a production client doesn't 
seem to have any effect.

I have been through the 
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php?Quick_How... document several 
times with no luck.

I'm working with 32-bit and 64-bit versions of CentOS (if that makes any 
difference).

Insights welcome.

Thanks.
