I am trying to unlock a NIS+ user account which has been locked - I have
tried doing this by using :

      nispasswd [username]

      passwd -r nisplus [username]

logged on as root on the NIS+ master server , but in both cases , after I enter the
login(NIS+) password and the suggested new password for the account , I get
the message :

       Permission denied

and in /var/adm/messages I get :

     [hostname] passwd[1213]: [ID 897924 user.error] Couldn't make a
     client handle to NIS+ password daemon

      [hostname] passwd[1213]: [ID 218583 user.error] passwd (NIS+):
      failover: user credential is required.

Does anyone know if it is possible to unlock an account , if so , how ?

Thanks in advance , I will summarise
