NetBSD NIS server, Debian NIS client

Hello,

Just thought I'd drop a note about my success with using NetBSD's NIS
server with Debian's NIS client.  The NIS Server is NetBSD/i386 1.6 and the
client is Debian/i386 3.0r1.  Both systems were configured at installation
to use MD5 passwords.

On the Debian side, "apt-get install nis" asked for the domain.
But I had to specify the NIS server by editting /etc/yp.conf

On the NetBSD side, I had to edit /var/yp/domainname/Makefile.
# diff Makefile.orig Makefile
53c53
< all: passwd aliases ${AMDMAPS} ethers group hosts ipnodes netgroup
networks rpc services protocols netid
---
> all: passwd aliases ${AMDMAPS} ethers group hosts ipnodes netgroup
networks rpc services protocols netid shadow

Thanks for the good work!

Ben

reboot

Hi

I would like to set up a machine with NetBSD as a internet gateway and 
firewall. I have been reading through the docs and i see that certain 
network changes require a reboot. Is this so ?

No, of course not. This is NetBSD, not Windows.

Some step-by-step instructions simplify matters by just telling the user to
reboot instead of detailing several steps that are equivalent, so this might
be where you got your impression from.

French NetBSD CVS repository

hello,

I use the French NetBSD CVS repository

anoncvs.fr.netbsd.org
Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris 06

with

CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs <at> anoncvs.fr.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD-CVS.

but for ~2 weeks I can't use it anymore.

The error message is :

/usr/src/libexec/ld.elf_so $ cvs status Makefile
setuid failed: Operation not permitted
cvs status: authorization failed: server anoncvs.fr.netbsd.org rejected access to /pub/NetBSD-CVS
for user anoncvs
cvs status: authorization failed: server anoncvs.fr.netbsd.org rejected access

Can you help me ?

My system is NetBSD 1.6, i386.

I know the mail of Perry E. Metzger
"Anonymous CVS users please note: modules are being merged" and I done
what I must do.

My CVS Root is :pserver:anoncvs <at> anoncvs.fr.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD-CVS

Ops, sorry. This is a side effect of the upgrade to cvs 1.11.4
Should be fixed now.

Thanks for all the help so far. It is indeed that the bad-sector file 
is already full, and spilling over. So I have backed up the important 
parts of this drive, and have a new drive on order. The system is 
limping along in an interesting fashion. It works fine for about 48 
hours with no messages like the one above, then gets pretty damn 
stuck emitting messages like the one above. Sometimes I can do a 
clean reboot, sometimes I can't, and even 'fsck -y' in single-user 
mode gets a bit haired out.

So, my question is this: can I determine what files are associated 
with the error messages? If they are files that get accessed but I 
don't need them there, I might be able to move them away for now. The 
disk is less than half-full, so maybe I can forestall until the new 
drive has gotten here.

I haven't tried it, but see the man page for badsect.

Additionally, for any machine which you expect to run 'unattended' for a
long time, I highly recommend a reboot after changes - to make sure that
the machine will boot back up with the settings you want.

You may well not be there when the machine loses power and has to come
back on its own.

ifconfig will happily change network settings at runtime - but unless
you update your configuration in /etc, it won't 'stick'.

Now, with that said, in recent versions of NetBSD, you can test your
network config without rebooting, by running
/etc/rc.d/network restart

I won't guarantee that you can't do anything that will behave
differently between that and what happens at boot (somehow) - so it's
still good to test ;-)

Replacing the NetBSD password system

Hi

I am looking to set up an X-server login to use an LDAP user database
instead of the "/etc/master.password" system. One option I see for this is
to replace the xdm login prompt with a login prompt (program) that uses the
the LDAP server. I am looking for some hints or references on how to do
this, or an alternative method to implement this.

Many thanks
Matthew Fincham

 Sometime back we connected and I was very reluctant because I was still hanging on to hope that I still had a
chance with my husband. But It did not work out so I am wondering if you found that someone or not. I have
posted new pictures and a complete profile of myself at 
 http://www.wildnightpersonals.com/ this is a free site please check my profile niccibomb and get back to
me if you want to try for it again.

 Looking to here back from you,

 Nicci :)
