Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have a Solaris 8 box (well, several actually) and none of them will
allow users to change their NIS passwords using yppasswd:
stevhill@tay$ yppasswd
yppasswd: Changing password for stevhill
Enter existing login password:
yppasswd: Sorry, wrong passwd
Permission denied
Now, our NIS master is a HP-UX 11.00 box, and is not likely to be
changed due to the number of HP boxes we have on site. Also, Linux boxes
are happy enough.
Do any of you chaps and chapettes have a workaround (other than logging
into one of the HP-UX hosts to change a password) or advice on some way
of working round this on a more permanent basis? It's obviously not a
show stopper, but it's annoying me now.
Answers on a postcard please!
Many thanks,
