This is done using arguments that allow you to specify the domain name and server name on the yppasswd command line. In -STABLE, this works properly; in -CURRENT, yppasswd incorrectly requires that the user exist locally in order to change the remote password. >How-To-Repeat: -CURRENT: paprika# yppasswd -y -d boltsys.com -h artemis.boltsys.com robert yppasswd: robert: no such user -STABLE: pemaquid:~> yppasswd -y -d boltsys.com -h artemis.boltsys.com robert Changing NIS password for robert on artemis.boltsys.com. Old Password: >Fix: Sounds like we need special-case handling of the non-local NIS password changing path in -CURRENT to avoid the local user check. This should be keyed on the use of the "-d" argument. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:help
