Ref: change yp password for users, asks for the old passwd... Roberts is right. I had kind of the same problem here at bsi. And another problem that you will face too ->passwords generated by the yppasswd contains invalid characters (control) and when yppasswdd tries to update the password it invalidates the password. Solution: 1) Modify the program yp_passwd.c at /usr/src/usr.bin/passwd to generate crypt the same way as local_passwd.c 2) Modify update.c in the /usr/src/gnu/usr.sbin/yppasswdd to not check the old password if it came from uid=0. compile those programs * install.
