Synopsis: passwd(1) tryis NIS even with `-l' switch State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: wpaul State-Changed-When: Mon Mar 1 08:13:04 PST 1999 State-Changed-Why: I have modified usr.bin/chpass/pw_yp.c to deal with this issue. Part of the problem here is that the 'NIS master server' in your system is in fact an NIS+ master server. And the server to which your machine is bound is an NIS+ replica server running in YP compat mode. This configuration confuses the use_yp() function, which bombs with a fatal error when it really ought not to. I changed my_yp_match() to return a failure status instead of bombing, which should fix your problem. The whole pw_yp.c thing needs to revisited at some point since it's a bit of a mess; the ideal thing would be if somebody would actually write an nsswitch system for FreeBSD, but that could take a while. For now, things should work correctly in your particular configuration. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
