I do not know NIS, but I do not think passwd should be used to change a password when NIS is in use. http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NIS-HOWTO/rpasswdd.html Did passwd work in the past? Do you know if passwd is intended to work in such case? Best Regards, -- Nekral -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
