i tried this:
data = ${extract {5}{:} {${lookup {$local_part} nis { passwd.byname } }}}
the router was declined. is there a way to inspect the values extracted?
i'm wondering if my build has some problem. i just downloaded the current
version and will try it as well.
just to summarize in my mind what normal behavior should be:
if nsswitch is set to recognize nis, then check_local_users should
recognize nis users, correct?
i appreciate your help with this.
thanx
