I have authentication working fine but I cant seem to get changing the passwords to work. If you change the password from a redhat box it just changes the NIS password not the system password and changing the password while on the freebsd server complains and says "passwd Unknown NIS user: username" . I have in rc.conf nisdomainname="nisdomain" # Domain Name nis_server_enable="YES" # run NIS server nis_server_flags="" # Flags to ypserv nis_yppasswdd_enable="YES" # Run Passwd Server nis_yppasswdd_flags=" -sf -t /etc/master.passwd" and I'm changing the password from the server with passwd -y. Thanks in advance
