Content-Type: text/plain Date: Sat, 19 Sep 1998 10:27:36 PDT Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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!
