in reply to Perl NIS authentication
Try:
use strict; use warnings;
at the top of your code to see some warnings / errors with what you posted.
I don't have a NIS server to test against, but I'm willing to bet if your credentials are correct, the following (untested) may work:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Net::NIS; use Authen::Simple::NIS; my $default_domain = Net::NIS::yp_get_default_domain(); my $nis = Authen::Simple::NIS->new(domain => $default_domain); if ($nis->authenticate("user", "testpass")) { print "Success\n" } print "done\n";
