[OpenAFS-port-darwin] NIS accounts and LoginWindow PlugIn

[Eric Knauel]

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone has tried using the LoginWindow PlugIn in
connection with NIS accounts? Users that have a "local" account (there
is an entry for this user in the NetInfo database) can login using
LoginWindow and get their tokens. However, if a user is not "local",
but has a NIS entry LoginWindow fails and drops to the console
login. /var/log/system.log looks like this:

Jul 16 09:21:42 robinson loginwindow[355]: AuthorizationRef doesn't have a userID 
Jul 16 09:21:42 robinson loginwindow[355]: exiting to console 
Jul 16 09:21:42 robinson WindowServer[191]: loginwindow connection closed; closing server.
Jul 16 09:21:42 robinson /System/Library/CoreServices/SecurityAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/SecurityAgent: (ipc/send) invalid destination port : CGSFlushWindowContentRegion: flush failed

All users, local and NIS users, can login via SSH. So it seems to me
that there is a problem with LoginWindow or the PlugIn. The
lookupd.conf entry for users looks like this:

{
"name" = ( "users" );
"LookupOrder" = ( "CacheAgent", "NIAgent", "YPAgent" );
},

Why is it a problem for LoginWindow oder the PlugIn if there is no
local account data? Why does it say that there's is a userID missing?
