You should read about the NIS setup first - you apparently don't know what you are doing ;-). Anyway 1. Check that the NIS group map content is seen by the client: client# ypcat group.byname 2. On each client, change the group line in /etc/nsswitch.conf to group: files nis An alternative is to keep the compat option but then you have to add a line containing '+' at the end of /etc/group. I haven't tested it now but as far as I remember this should be all. Don't forget to "re-log" on the client, otherwise the login shell will use the old setting. -- A.M.
