X-Lighthearted: So there :-p Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 'lo out there :-) I've recently installed FreeBSD 4.0-release as (among other functions) an NIS server for a small network. Almost everything is working fine; people can log in, ypwhich and ypcat work as expected, and yppasswd works fine on the machine itself. However, when I try to use yppasswd from another machine, it won't work. It logs a message "access to master.passwd.byname denied -- client x.x.x.x:1731 not privileged" and "rejected update request from unauthorised host". (Where x.x.x.x is the IP of the client, obviously) Other YP requests from that host work fine, so I assume it's not /var/yp/securenets which is the problem. Update requests from the server itself work, so I assume it's not a problem with rpc.yppasswdd not being able to update the password hash. Any suggestions? Thanks... -- "Now that's an idea.
