When using yppasswd to change a user password, rcp.yppasswdd failed in two ways:
change passwd from root on NIS server:
------- server syslog messages ---------
passwd: in pam_sm_chauthtok(): yppasswd_local(): failed to connect to rpc.yppasswdd:
nis.server.$DOMAIN: RPC: Program not registered
change passwd from a user on either NIS server or a remote machine:
------- server syslog messages ---------
rpc.yppasswdd[349]: pw_mkdb() failed
passwd: in pam_sm_chauthtok(): yppasswd_remote(): NIS password update failed
========= end of messages =========
This is on 5.1 release. What would be the problem?
pw_mkdb() in lib/libutil/pw_util.c shows that
this may be failed at execl(... , "pwd_mkdb" ...)
pw_mkdb(const char *user)
{
switch (pid= fork()) {
...
case 0 :
execl(_PATH_PWD_MKDB, "pwd_mkdb", "-p",
"-d", passwd_dir, "-u", user, tempname, NULL);
_exit(1);
...
}
if (waitpid(pid, &pstat, 0) == -1)
return (-1);
if (WIFEXITED(pstat) && WEXITSTATUS(pstat) == 0)
return (0);
errno = 0;
return (-1);
}
