All work sensibly as root  should they as non-root?  

On my nis server i commented out some lines

*      : *     :passwd.byname  : port

*      : *     :passwd.byuid  : port

which denied access to those maps from unpriveliged ports.  So login process
happened as root, but after authentication  I no longer got access to the maps!


Now using gnome,- surprisingly kde didn't care about the issues.  I guess md5
password hashes is next on the list of things to do.


Thanks
