NIS Client FreeBSD

[Joedetic]

I know this is the *nix forum but there's no *BSD forum so here goes...

 

I've got a NIS server setup on a FreeBSD box following the instructions on the freeBSD online manual.

 

I setup the master server on one machine and a setup another machine to act as the client. Both freeBSD...the client shows the user that i'd setup into my /var/yp/master.password on the NIS master box when you run the command

ypcat passwd

 

But when i try and login to the client using the NIS user it doesnt work as if there's no user.

 

Any ideas for anything i could have missed or that i need to do?

 

Cheers....
