NIS + SSH problem still here

[Roberto F. Brandao]

Hello,

  I've set "UseLogin yes" and now I can open ssh connections, but I
can't log in yet. It doesn't recognizes the user:

id: cannot find name for user ID
[I have no name!@node2]

  Can you, please, help me on this ?

Thank you very much.

Roberto
