This is my first time working with NIS on MOSX.3.9 server and I’ve run in to a weird problem that I’m having a hard time pinning down any documentation on.
It could just be my unfamiliarity with it, but any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Basically–
I’m able to configure directory access to authenticate via our network’s NIS system. It’s fine and works. What’s strange is that when I log into the host in question with one of the local accounts (ie the admin account) it seems like the system is searching NIS for permissions rather than the local netinfo database.
I’ve looked in netinfo and NISagent is at the bottom of the list for lookupd (and it’s associated directories). I would assume that NIS should be queried last. Ultimately, it takes about five minutes for an application to launch or to authenticate commands, etc…
Any dieas?
