Hi, I'm having trouble with yppasswd in NIS. The setup is this: passwd, shadow, group, etc. files are in the /var/yp/ypfiles directory. Of course there are corresponding files in /etc on the ypserver, but they do not contain all of the users in the /var/yp/ypfiles location. In the makefile YPSRCDIR (sp?) and YPDIR are both set to /var/yp/ypfiles, so as I understand it NIS should not be looking in /etc at all.
Anyone who is on the /var/yp/ypfiles list is able to log in to all of the yp clients. However, only those that are listed in the /etc files are able to change their passwords using yppasswd. Does anybody know how to fix this? I know that I could just use the /etc files for NIS and limit access to the server, but I would like two different passwords to be used, one for the NIS server and one for the NIS clients, for those who are allowed access to both systems. Thanks, Nate
