Subject: Forced update of NIS passwords
Sender: owner-isp@freebsd.org

Precedence: bulk


Recently been working on a WWW based password changing utility for our users
so that the more timid can avoid the horrors of having to interact with a
spooky shell style interface. The form/CGI works to update the password on
the main YP server, but the process of forcibly updating the client machines
is escaping me at this time.

How can I force an update of the password file on the client machines ?
