    I've set up a Gentoo Linux box here at the house for a development project. As it's the 8th computer (between my roomate and I) we use NIS for obvious reasons. So here's the question for the PAM security gurus. I can login as an NIS user with SSH. If I login as root I can su to an NIS user. The problem is that no NIS user can login from the console. If this were a server it would be no big deal. But this machine was to be my Linux development workstation. Anyone have any ideas? I've checked /var/log/messages. PAM authenticates NIS users fine for everything except console login. Here's the error. May 2 07:51:30 kawolski login[5481]: FAILED LOGIN 1 FROM /dev/vc/2 FOR nay, Authentication failure nay

      The best place for Gentoo Linux help is the Gentoo Forums site. (OK, I see you asked there already). I believe you need to emerge the sys-apps/pam-login package.
