Quick update for all who were good enough to reply. My problem is now solved...for any others wishing to "secure" their servers in such a fashion, here is what it was..
1. /usr/bin/yppasswd needs to be other executable. 2. even with the above done, if I login as one use, then su to root and then su to the poor old non-priviledged user it gives the error. login in directly (via ssh/telnet/console) with the above change and it works. sign!!! once again, thanks for the help and advise. ===== Mark W J Redding __________________________________________________ Yahoo!
