I've got a 7.2 box acting as NIS master, running rpc.yppasswdd. When
remote users try to change their passwords they see:
testing1# passwd mytest
Changing NIS password for mytest
Old Password:
New Password:
Retype New Password:
passwd: pam_chauthtok(): error in service module
On the server I get this in the logs:
rpc.yppasswdd[36858]: pw_mkdb() failed
I tracked the error message down to line 620 of yppasswdd_server.c, which
lead me to libutil/pw_util.c.
It looks like waitpid in mk_pwdb is returning the error "No child
processes", which then makes mk_pwdb return an error. But the child does
run and do it's job as expected. If you edit yppasswdd_server.c to ignore
the return value of mk_pwdb, passwords are changed as expected.
