local user login hangs when nis stops working

muvvasJul 24 2013 — edited Jul 25 2013

Hi,

one of our server configured as a nis client,(added only one nis server in the client configuration).when nis server works fine local users and nis users both able to login.

my nsswitch.conf file

passwd:     files nis

group:      files nis

hosts:      files dns

automount   nis

Some fine day our nis server stops working. Surprisingly my local users are also unable to login.

1)nis server not responding so 100% nis users cannot login

2) What’s wrong with my local users, even they are unable to login and after entering the password it’s never given login..

Someone please advise me, what’s wrong with my nsswitch configuration?

Thanks,

Smuvva
