NIS+

[AdamCoombs]

I have a really strange problem with NIS+!

we have an in house job management program that hold all the information on data processing jobs within nis+. it holds the job number, title, client number etc etc
and the users have script that read the tables and tell them where jobs are..
i have just created a new user and this user cannot read any of the data in the NIS+ table..every other user can..
i have created a new test account and that cant read the tables either. if i niscat the tables it just come back with the headers, if i niscat from an existing user they see all the data.
the new users are in the same groups as the existing users.

what has happened?!?!
please help!

thanks
Adam

sorry, if i do a niscat it comes back with nothing with the new user...

i have tried this with new NIS+ accounts and local passwd accounts and they both have the same issue

if it helps anyone..
when i do nisdefaults when logged in as the problem user i get
Principal Name : alees.ri.co.uk. (not authenticated)
Domain Name : ri.co.uk.
Host Name : pegasus.ri.co.uk.
Group Name :
Access Rights : ----rmcdr---r---
Time to live : 12:00:00
Search Path : org_dir.ri.co.uk.
ri.co.uk.
co.uk.

on everyone else its obviously authenticated...
what to do!?!?!?

cheers

At a guess... (I don't use NIS+), you have a credential issue with the new user... Looked for information and found this site with steps you need to take to create a new user... I know this information is for HP but, I hope it helps.

Does the user have an entry in cred.org_dir?
Can the user do a keylogin?

they did have an entry, but i get them to do a keylogin anyway and its sorted..
thanks very much for your help.
