I added a user using /usr/sbin/adduser and that user could not login at the clients until I explicitly did a make in /var/yp. (my MASTER_PASSWD is /etc/master.passwd, btw.) I thought rpc.yppasswdd woudl detect a change in MASTER_PASSWD and issue a new make run or am I wrong about the mechanism? Otherwise adduser could be augmented by adding a yp dependent action causing the yp databases to be rebuilt. -- Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de
