How do they get updated? rpc.yppasswdd takes care of that. From it's man page: (man 8 rpc.yppasswdd) rpc.yppasswdd is an RPC-based server that accepts incoming password change requests, authenticates them, places the updated information in the /var/yp/master.passwd template file and then updates the NIS master.passwd ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ and passwd maps. > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- > Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data > chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. > 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | > Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD > (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- > > Hope this helps, Nadav
