*Managers,
I tried to change the password for a user but it failed. I believe someone
might have faced similar kind of problem,

When I tried to change a password as a normal user*, I got the following
error

[kamal@s00 ~]$ passwd
Changing password for user kamal.
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
[kamal@s00 ~]$

[kamal@s00 ~]$ yppasswd

Please enter old password:
Changing NIS password for kamal on s00.
Please enter new password:
Please retype new password:
Error while changing the NIS password.
The NIS password has not been changed on s00.

[kamal@s00 ~]$

*As Admin*

[root@s00 etc]# yppasswd kamal
