[SUMMARY] nis+ adding credentials

2007-12-25 10:21:00

> Solaris 2.5

> New NIS+ server

> user account therefor already exists with 133 as UID.

> # nisaddcred -p 133 -P therefor.simp.com local

> nisaddcred: no password entry found for uid 133

> nisaddcred: unable to create credential.

> What gives?

Cecil Pang had it right when he said,

"If it return nothing then you do not have a user account entry in the

NIS+ database. Therefore you will not be able to create a credential

for therefor. You must have a account first before you can create the

credential i.e. passwd.org_dir should have therefor entry."

nispopulate was the ticket.
