When I set this up initially, yppasswd was working fine. Now, however, I'm getting complaints from customers that they have been unsuccessful at changing their passwords. I've been able to duplicate this, but unable to find an answer. Here's what I get: passwd: Failed to change NIS password: RPC: Server can't decode arguments What's really weird, is that it's only happening with some accounts, and not others. Any clues?
