I am need of assistance.  I have an NIS user account that can logon to one
machine, but is unable to logon to another.  Both NIS clients share the
same NIS master, and are in the same domain.

I ran a ypmatch against the user, and NIS entry is identical from both
machines.  A finger on the NIS account from both systems shows identical
information, along with a valid shell.

Upon failed authentication, /var/log/messages shows a PASSWORD INCORRECT
message on system-2.  I also tried over ssh & telnet, but to no avail.

Both systems are redhat 7.2.

As seen on bash.org:
The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there
should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't
we just take the safety labels off of everything and let
the problem solve itself?
