>Release: FreeBSD 2.0-BUILT-19950527 i386
>Environment:
2.0.5-ALPHA, also 2.0.5-RELEASE, no YP configured.
>Description:
When I try to change the passwd for an nonexistant user, I get:
ivanhoe:/root# passwd foobar
yppasswd: can't find the master ypserver: Request arguments bad
With 2.0-RELEASE I get the correct message:
sogand:/root# passwd foobar
passwd: unknown user foobar
>How-To-Repeat:
passwd foobar
>Fix:
Setup an YP server? ;)
