Ok, I've got my FreeBSD box ('kubrick' which is running 2.2.2 on a Pentium
Pro 200 with 128 Megs of RAM) set up as an NIS master server. I've also got
a machine ('jms' which is running AIX 4.2) set up as a client machine.
There are no slave servers. The passwd file that I'm distributing via NIS
is not the master.passwd file for the server, but instead a version that
sits in /etc/nis.
The client is able to see the maps that are coming from the server.
However, when I try to use yppasswd on the client, strange things happen.
The NIS maps seem to reflect the change (i.e. logging into the client after
running yppasswd, I have to use the new password) but the original file is
not changed. Also, when I run yppasswd, I get the following error messages.
. .
Enter the new password again:
3004-622 An error occurred updating the password database.
3004-604 Your entry does not match the old password.
yppasswd: 1831-155 could not change passwd
Now, if I use yppasswd and give it the same password for the new password as
the old password, I get this...
Enter the new password again:
3004-622 An error occurred updating the password database.
northrup's New password:
Enter the new password again:
And I put in the new password again, then it exits.
I'm using the following for my rpc.yppasswdd command...
/usr/sbin/rpc.yppasswd -t /etc/nis/master.passwd -s -f
Anyone have any pointers on what I might be doing incorrectly?
