Hello all.

We use NIS+ for our UNIX-side BaaN user accounts and we recently switched from Solaris to AIX application servers and to using blogind6.1 instead of rexec.

The problem is that blogind6.1 does not appear to authenticate with NIS+. If you happen to have been authenticated recently (via a telnet/ssh login) then you will still be authenticated - otherwise you will not. This does not stop logins but it does stop that user querying his details in NIS+ (which we do behind the scenes for password aging etc.) and impacts password changes.

debugging blogind6.1 gives this output....

Daemon: Incoming connection, spawn child.
Daemon: revert to listen-mode.
Child: handle BaanLogin request.
Child: received: user testuser, action 1
IBCmd $BSE/bin/ipc_boot, bseVersion 6.1
Child: logon for testuser OK.
Child: pwd status = -7, message = -4007: Something is wrong with system functions.
Child: starting $BSE/bin/ipc_boot6.1.

Obviously an error but I don't know what it means. Does bloagind6.1 use standard loging functions? Is there something I can do with PAM?

any help appreciated,
thanks.
