perhaps you could tcpdump and find out which server it's trying, or if it is sending broadcasts? does freebsd allow for something similar to the /etc/yp/DOMAINNAME file? i've gotten quite fond of using that file. my quick suggestion is to watch the network interfaces and see what is different on the wire between 'yppasswd' and the one with ypwhich. also, don't know what the ramification of the PAM is... perhaps nothing ? did a quick peek at the freebsd yppasswd(1) page and didn't see much mention. -- jared [ openbsd 3.9-beta GENERIC ( jan 30 ) // i386 ]
