I have a Solaris 8 nisplus server. I'm trying to change a regular users
password logged in as the user with this command but it's giving me
permission denied errors. Anyone have any ideas as to why?

machine1{davetest}/home/davetest[7]% nispasswd
nispasswd: Changing password for davetest
Enter login(NIS+) password:
New password:
Re-enter new password:
NIS+ password information update failed while talking to NIS+ passwd daemon
passwd (NIS+): Password information update failed
Permission denied
machine1{davetest}/home/davetest[8]%
machine1{davetest}/home/davetest[8]% passwd -r nisplus davetest
Enter login(NIS+) password:
New password:
Re-enter new password:
NIS+ password information update failed while talking to NIS+ passwd daemon
passwd (NIS+): Password information update failed
Permission denied
machine1{davetest}/home/davetest[9]%

Thank You
