There are some clients which report as 3.2-STABLE #1 (compiled Jun 6th) and they don't exhibit this behavior. I'm not sure if this is a configuration problem or what. I've browsed passwd.c very briefly, but I don't have time to sit down and get real familiar with it right now. >How-To-Repeat: setup as above, login as NIS user: % passwd Changing local password for dhagan. Old password: New password: Retype new password: passwd: updating the database... passwd: done /etc/master.passwd now contains the following: ----- [snip] +::::::::: dhagan:[new passwd]:8232:200::0:0:Daniel T. Hagan:/home/major/dhagan:/bin/tcsh ----- >Fix: I'd be willing to try any suggestions or look at some code if someone comes up with a hunch as to what is wrong. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
