Hi I recently installed a new NIS server. Now I find it is no longer possible to change one's password, although the yppasswdd daemon on the NIS server is running. The NIS server is a RedHat 6.2 machine running ypserv-1.3.9-3 and the clients are either RedHat 6.1 or RedHat 6.2. Note that it is possible to connect to the passswdd daemon on the NIS server: 3> yppasswd Changing NIS account information for hugo on numbat. Please enter old password: Changing NIS password for hugo on numbat. Please enter new password: Please retype new password: Error while changing the NIS password. The NIS password has not been changed on numbat. I have been very careful in typing the new password in correctly, but I always get this error. Anyone has any suggestions as what may be wrong? Any help will be most appreciated.
