Hi,
Suse 9.1 installed on workstations. Central authentication using NIS from sun server.
Error messages in /var/log/messages :
Sep 1 14:15:52 PC sshd[7347]: error: Could not get shadow information for USER Sep 1 14:15:52 PC sshd[7347]: Accepted password for USER from ::IPv^address port 1022 ssh2
Not a major problem, but two minor questions: 1) why am I being told that the user is not in the shadow password file, when authentication is then being provided by NIS? 2) why is the client IP address being reported in IPv6 format?
both are annoyances, but I would like to turn off the first and change the second to IPv4.
Does your /etc/nsswitch.conf say that shadow information can come from NIS? Tom. -- Tom Knight System Administration Officer Arts & Humanities Data Service Web: http://www.ahds.ac.uk Email: tom.knight@ahds.ac.uk
