In Usenet i found one more thread describing similar situation but it ends up somewhere else (http://groups.google.com/groups?th=8163b41685555903)
Summary:
Problem:
In NIS+ environment an attempt to change sume user's password as root on the root master server results in the following:
# passwd <user> New password: Re-enter new Password: Permission denied
In the system log the failure is reflected by the following message:
<timestamp> <server> passwd[15660]: [ID 865497 user.error] Couldn't create a DH key-pair (len = 192, type = 0)
Users are able to change their passwords themselves.
Reactions and suggestions so far:
To try
# passwd -r nisplus <user>
Result is the same:
Enter root's password: New Password: Re-enter new Password: Permission denied
However, then nothing shows up in the system log.
Note: Later at a certain point it worked only on the root master server (I have the other box in the admin group as well but there it did not work) but I got the following messages:
<tomestamp> master rpc.nispasswdd[256]: [ID 626782 daemon.error] too many failed attempts for user
<timestamp> master passwd[26851]: [ID 404987 user.alert] NIS+ password invalid
<timestamp> master passwd[26851]: [ID 404987 user.alert] NIS+ password invalid
<timestamp> master passwd[26851]: [ID 893259 user.alert] Failover to old protocol
<timestamp> master passwd[26851]: [ID 893259 user.alert] Failover to old protocol
I restarted rpc.nispasswd and then it does not work at all again.
Any further help will be highly appreciated.
