Sorry,

I forget to mention that we are using C2.

Thanks,

Pedro.

Hello again,

I've a Trucluster V5.1B that is the master server for my NIS domain, and when a user issues the passwd command to change his password the password is not changed and remains the old one.

After this as been done the prpasswd info is updated but the edauth -g returns the unchanged information.

If the password is changed by the root user then both files are synchronized.

Is this a bug from NIS or passwd, or am I forgetting something?

Another problem that is happening frequently is when changing the password this error is displayed:
       
              - Password not changed: failed to write protected password entry.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Greetings,
Pedro Cunha.
