NIS password problems

2007-12-25 10:11:00

I had one reply to the problem I posted on Thu, 20 May 1999. The reply

came from Claudio.Confalonieri@bpb.it and whose advice solved my

problem.

The solution is to install the NISKIT Patch 103053-08.

Original posting:

__________________________________________________

I am running a NIS master server, on a Sparc server 20 running Solaris

2.5.1. and in February, I installed the 'Recommended Patch Cluster'.

Since this installation, when I am root on this NIS server, I am unable

to change user's passwords and I get the message: 'couldn't create

client'.

The rpc.yppasswd daemon and it's settings are:

/usr/lib/netsvc/yp/rpc.yppasswdd -D /var/etc -m

The strange thing is:

1) users that are logged into the NIS server can change their passwords

OK

2) if I am root on any NIS client, I can successfully change the user

password.

I would appreciate any help on this problem.
