Hello listmates,

I have discovered a very strange SFTP problem which I can not connect to anything but NIS thus far. See here:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/sftp-seems-to-fail-for-nis-accounts-under-openssh-5-x-816020/

Hence the question: is NIS (YP) still in use much anywhere for authentication?

Thanks.

Boris.
