I Just noticed something, which *may* be a clue to someone better
informed than me ;-)
I can su-l to anyone on the NIS master's passwd file as long as I
am root on the client, even though I cant login as those same people.
Just to be sure the kernel had the same features/modules on both
the NIS client and the NIS server, I compiled a new kernel on the NIS
server, and then installed this one kernel on both the server *and*
the client (using nfs)
finger works right, ypmatch/ypcat work ok, but passwd does not.
On the client:
# passwd testlgn
Changing NIS password for testlgn on nismstr.test.com.
Old Password:
New password:
Retype new password:
passwd: failed to change NIS password: rpc.yppasswdd returned error
status
Any new ideas anyone?
Thanks!
Jane
