*NIS password issue has been resolved. The main problem was on is command
itself. I checked the script yppasswd and the PATH to the passwd file was
commented out. I simply pointed to the location of the NIS database and
reload the yppasswd; after that it simply worked.
ETCDIR=/var/PATH_TO_NIS_DATABASE
not path to the NIS MAPS.
My original question.
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
Changing NIS account information for kamal on s00.
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
Changing NIS account information for kamal on s00.
Please enter root password:

Please enter new password:
Please retype new password:
