bash$ ypcat passwd |grep vuhung
vuhung:xwamJuaxxxx.:1736:60:Nguyen Hung
Vu:/home/student/cs/vuhung:/usr/local/bin/bash

thanks Josh,

this solved the problem but I wonder why my default umask is 000? There
are 4 people using bash here

bash$ ypcat passwd | grep bash | wc -l
       4
bash$ 

2 of them are locked, 1 of them never logged in,forth person is me ;)
After I used ypchsh to change my default shell to /bin/sh, umask is still
0000 ;)

bash$ cat /etc/shells
/bin/sh
/bin/csh
/usr/local/bin/tcsh
/usr/local/bin/bash
bash$ ypchsh
Changing NIS login shell for vuhung on falcon.fedu.uec.ac.jp.
Old shell: /usr/local/bin/bash
New shell: /bin/sh
Password:
NIS entry changed on fedu.uec.ac.jp
bash$ exit
logout
Connection to fedu.uec.ac.jp closed.
bash$ sshfalcon

You have mail.
$ umask
0000
$ 

???

Why?
