Ypbind successful, but cannot login with NIS

Hi All,

I’m trying to use NIS on Rocky Linux 8.4. I’ve successfully ypbind, but I still cannot login my account with NIS unless I add these two things:

  1. Add this line in /etc/passwd
    ====
    <my_account>:x:1736:1501:<my_account_name>:/home/<my_account>:/bin/bash
    ====
  2. Add this line in /etc/shadow
    ====
    <my_account>:<my_pwd>::0:99999:7:::
    ====
    <my_pwd> is the encrypted password string getting from yptest | grep <my_account>

Once I have changed my passwd, I will have to modify these two things. It is not convenient.

Has anyone encountered this problem before?

Thanks
