It's hackweek, most people are working on other things but not on bugs.

OK, thanks for this info. I've not aware about this behavior. But this is normal according Murphies Law, that if something went wrong, this will be the beginning of a continuous errors/disadvantages :-(

If you are using NIS, you should have enough knowledge about this to get this working without YaST:

cd /var/yp rm Makefile cp /usr/lib/yp/ypMakefile Makefile

Yes, something like this was my initial starting of Home Server for about 20 years ;-)

Edit the Makefile: do you really need services via NIS? If no, remove it from the all: line. If yes, adjust the path to the services file.

The behaivior is, that in the moment I've some clients with changing users. And they are mounting the /home via NFS. So it is required to sync the user settings also with this clients. Im not sure if this can also be done via LDAP service. Ulf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I forgot: of course call "make".

you mean: cd /var/yp rm Makefile cp /usr/lib/yp/ypMakefile Makefile make

Sorry, don't understand what your answer has to do with my instruction to setup the NIS database on your NIS server yourself without YaST.

You ask/advice me:

Only to give the background of the installation, so I'm not sure if NIS is still the best/required solution. Regards Ulf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Michael, at first many thanks for your fast answer :-) Am Samstag, 15. Februar 2020, 12:28:30 CET schrieb Michael Ströder:

Setup an LDAP server providing NSS maps based on LDAP schema defined in RFC 2307.

You can setup your own LDAP server and use NSS/PAM clients like sssd or nss-pam-ldapd (also aka nslcd).

OK, I will check the solution Any proposal for a good article (in best way in German) how to setup according new changes a home network for >= 2 (login) users and >= 2 client PCs used with all users? If not, I will generate one, but for sure needs support from experts. Do someone know a good mailinglist/chat which can support me with a good architecture (the implementation later on is only mostly easy possible). Background, in our LUG there are some other (non technique users) which are also looking for such kind of solution.

For more complex requirements there are ready-to-use solutions like https://www.freeipa.org (typically used with sssd) or my own https://ae-dir.com/ (best used with aehostd). Being the author of Æ-DIR I'm biased of course. Both solutions are not something you will understand within half-an-hour though.

But I'm not a fan of prepared packages, if with some reading of an initial guidline to define a good initial architecture - what is used in which way - and looking for the background to adapt this is more stable.

NIS probably still is the simplest (setup-wise) solution for your problem, but I have to agree with Thorsten: I doubt you need services distributed by NIS. For most setups, user/password and automounter maps distribution is more than enough.

I'm not sure. The setup runs since about 20 years stable (only sometimes redone due to new installation of openSUSE due to HW topics (the last was about 1 year ago, due to a defect of the root SSD - now root is shifted to a RAID 1)

Thorsten: is it intended to make ypserv also use the new layout with /etc/ complimenting /usr/etc? Or is there already a way to have the Makefile combine both sources?

Will be really interesting. For me the issue crashing of "yast nis_server" was according to a not working reference. Regards Ulf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
