I've just built the NIS system between server A and server B.
In my case, A is the server-side and B acts as the client-side.
After creating an account on A and updating the database (execute the Makefile), I use the account to log into B.
However, the name displayed on the terminal does not match the account I am using...

A:~$ adduser test
local:~$ ssh test@ip.address
different_name@B:~$ # this is supposed to be test@B:~$

I also check the status with who and whoami on server B but get a strange outcome...

# who
test pts/2 2019-04-14 16:31 (ip.address)
# whoami
different_name

Besides, I add +:::::: to the end of /etc/passwd, +::: to the end of /etc/group, and +:::::::: to the end of /etc/shadow.

Any hints on to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

  The best hint to fix NIS in 2019 is to NOT use NIS. It's severely outdated and should have died long ago. That said, you would need to show us your actual config to be able to help you.

  Like LDAP? Actually, I'm not very familiar with the technics. What should I enter to get the config? Thanks
