That is correct, Webmin cannot convert NIS users to its own internal users as it cannot get their passwords using the standard getpw* functions. However, there is another option called 'Unix user authenticatioin' which you can use to allow Unix users (from /etc/passwd, NIS or LDAP) to login to Webmin. However, it depends on the Authen::PAM perl module being installed, and /etc/pam.d/webmin being set up. - Jamie |
