NIS

Hello Everbody,

Got a strange problem x-)

My NIS Client machines are not able to login using CDE They work perfectly fine in Command line.

Any Clues.....

Thanx in Advance

just a guess here but dtlogin fails to authenticate users under NIS+ if the password is longer than 8 characters, also
creating a NIS+ user account or changing the user account passwd by selecting "Set At Next Login", it causes dtlogin to fail after entering the password:
&quot;dtlogin (NIS+): couldn't change password for <username>&quot;

Password is less then 8 characters.

In my case it bluntly say's &quot;Invaid Login&quot;.

Has anybody faced a similar problem

is everthing okay with &quot;/etc/shells&quot; ? ensure that it contains the direct path to the shell as specified in the &quot;/etc/passwd&quot; file.
