What does your /etc/nsswitch.conf look like? I have strange
authentication problems because I use NIS+. I found that if I log in
via telnet into the require user everything is OK until the next
reboot of the machine hosting netatalk - weird! Also I found that a
rsh to the target machine with a .rhosts setup didn't work. Therefore
it seems to be that if the passwd is decrypted / fetched from the NIS+
master then it works, if not...
Does anyone else running netatalk in a NIS+ environment. I'm using
1.4b2+asun18.2
