Hello,
Iīm having some problems with getting a fresh installed FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE
machine running as a YP/NIS client. The server is a SunOS 4.1.3 machine
running ypserv.
I started ypbind on the FreeBSD box and the users can login into it,
but they canīt change the passwords. After entering the old password,
"passwd" says "sorry" and exits.
Obviously, getpwent(3) seems nasty, it returns "##username" as pw_passwd,
not the encrypted password. When running "ypcat passwd", I indeed get
"##username" in the password field, but "ypcat passwd.adjunct.byname"
shows me the encrypted passwords.
So, why isnīt getpwent(3) using the correct map? And yes, Iīm running
ypbind with -s as an option.
Any help would be very great, since changing passwords is essential :-)
Have a nice weekend,
Kai
