I am trying to migrate nis server from solaris to redhat(7.5), as per the doc I have exported /etc/passwd and /etc/group from solaris to redhat and made NIS up and running.



If my /etc/passwd is e.g.:



james:x:554:101::/users/james:/bin/bash
kevin:x:723:103::/users/kevin:/usr/bin/bash
jerry:x:1130032140:101::/users/jerry:/usr/bin/bash
jose:x:1130032178:103::/users/jose:/usr/bin/bash


These are my NIS users but if I do ypcat passwd I am able to see only jerry and jose. james and kevin are not listed.



If I change the user id to 4 digit (e.g., 5544) after make I am able to see the user.



The thing is if the user id is 3 digit ypcat passwd does not list that user.

    There is often a configuration setting somewhere that sets the smallest (and possibly largest) UID that NIS/YP should serve. This is so that system user accounts (such as root and others) are not included in the list. The minimal number may well be 1000 (this is the default minimum on OpenBSD at least).

    That's exactly why I didn't write this as an answer. I've only ever used NIS on OpenBSD and NetBSD, never on Solaris or Linux. I don't know where you would configure it on those systems, and I don't know if changing the minimum UID to 100 would be the right (or secure) thing to do.

  • it may be configured via something under /etc/pam.d, though I've never run NIS so don't know if there's something specific for it under that dir or if that hides somewhere else

Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
