Hi guys, it's me again,

  I didn't understand one thing about YP :

   Some days ago, I "turned on" my YP. I did exactly like man said:

       Copied master.passwd to /var/yp and run make.
     Everything worked perfectly. No error message. :)

     Today afternoon, I looked on  YP's Makefile and JUST changed the 
SOURCE directory configuration ($YPSRCDIR) including passwd and 
master.passwd to a subdirectory of /var/yp. 
     Maked directory, edited master.passwd (to add a user)and ran make. 
NO error message ! :) It got teh right master.passwd file in the dir I 
had maked, I'm shure about it.
     But when I tryed to login with the new user, FreeBSD doesn't find 
him, neither finger. Explication : users DB wasn't updated. 
     Tryed to put back passwd and master.passwd in the old dir 
(/var/yp), and nothing changed. DB wasn't updated. :(
     What do I have to do ?

Thanks,
  Alex Carlos
