Greetings I currently have one FreeBSD 3.1 box running as an NIS server and 3 RedHat Linux 6.0 boxes running as NIS clients. The first time I try changing my NIS password using yppasswd after starting rpc.yppasswd, I am successful. However, on every subsequent try I get the following: Changing NIS account information for innesro on tsetse.cs.earlham.edu. Please enter old password: Changing NIS password for innesro on tsetse.cs.earlham.edu. Please enter new password: Please retype new password: Error while changing the NIS password. The NIS password has not been changed on tsetse.cs.earlham.edu. I would greatly appreciate it if someone would tell me how to solve this problem. Sincerely Robert K.
