When using yppasswd to change a user password, rcp.yppasswdd failed in two ways:
change passwd from root on NIS server:
--- server syslog messages -
passwd: in pam_sm_chauthtok(): yppasswd_local(): failed to connect to rpc.yppasswdd:
nis.server.$DOMAIN: RPC: Program not registered
change passwd from a user on either NIS server or a remote machine:
--- server syslog messages -
rpc.yppasswdd[349]: pw_mkdb() failed
passwd: in pam_sm_chauthtok(): yppasswd_remote(): NIS password update failed
= end of messages =
This is on 5.1 release. What would be the problem?
pw_mkdb() in lib/libutil/pw_util.c shows that
this may be failed at execl(... , pwd_mkdb ...)
pw_mkdb(const char *user)
{
switch (pid= fork()) {
...
case 0 :
execl(_PATH_PWD_MKDB, pwd_mkdb, -p,
-d, passwd_dir, -u, user, tempname, NULL);
_exit(1);
...
}
if (waitpid(pid, pstat, 0) == -1)
return (-1);
if (WIFEXITED(pstat) WEXITSTATUS(pstat) == 0)
return (0);
errno = 0;
return (-1);
}
