How too use netgroups (NIS)

Question

Hello , Im new in this group and also are starting to learn Isilon working/concept We have a isilon running v7.0.2.8 B_7_0_2_8_269(RELEASE): This Box is connected to NIS server which I can list the users and groups without any problem. We want too use also NIS netgroups . I m able to view the netgroup on the NIS server. When I try to see/list the netgroup on Isilon I get following : nlba0isi01-2#   isi   auth    netgroups  list  --netgroup=host1 The authentication request could not be handled Any one an idea how to make the netgroup (entrys)  visible on Isilon ? Thx Walter

Hello Walter,

does the NIS provider show up as active in the output of "isi auth status"?

The rest is normal netgroup+NIS stuff, check out man netgroup.

Basically you need to have a /etc/netgroup file with a plain '+'

to pull the netgroup map from NIS into the system.

The /etc/netgroup file will be synced to all nodes automagically ("mcp" mechanism).

Thanks a lot Peter it 's working now.

The + did the trick.

I did strike another problem : put a space after a netgroup on NIS server ",) "

Is there a way to increase logging in lsassd ?

Thanks ,

Walter
