[ILUG] NIS, libc vs glibc

[Jakma, Paul]

check nsswitch.conf.

if it says

password: files nis

and the local passwd file has an entry for that user then it won't query
NIS.

Either remove change nsswitch.conf order to nis files (not reccomended), or
delete the nis enabled users from local passwd files. (better)

regards,

Paul Jakma.
