I am working on bringing back a number of Centos 7 rigs in our student computer lab back online. No change was made to the existing server machine [running Scientific Linux 6]
Right now there is one remaining thing to resolve: an inconsistency with the rigs' NIS Clients.
I have configured rcpbind and ypbind following guidance from Server World ( https://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=CentOS_7&p=nis&f=2 ) identically on all of the client machines. I have done this before with previous installs before this. The last time was this summer. Three are behaving as they are supposed to do. Five, however, are not.
In this process I have repeatedly checked that support files ..
/etc/sysconfig/network /etc/yp.conf /etc/pam.d/system-auth-ac /etc/pam.d/system-auth /etc/login.defs /etc/sysconfig/authconfig
Do you have nis set up in /etc/nsswitch.conf ?
