Ok, can you give us more details on your Network and YP configuration, including domain name, etc?

It sounds like you might, and I stress might, have the client mis-configured with which network it's trying to talk to the yp server. What happens if you do > /etc/init.d/ypbind restart > ypwhich what do you get then? What's in your /etc/yp.conf file? How is your server configured? Scott> So, what might I be missing? Why can't I change passwords?

Have you made the client into a slave by mistake, but it's not pulling over the changes from the master because it's not listed in /etc/ypservers? Or the ypservers map? Scott> Both client and server have been rebooted many times. That's not going to help probably, since you've got a mis-configuration from the sound of it, not a system problem. I assume both boxes are on the same subnet, have matching subnet masks, can talk to each other (ssh, ping, etc) without any problems?
