Hi,

Ive installed NIS on a group of 3 machines, but I'm having a problem that
when a nis password is changed the machine still things the old password
is being used until I kill -HUP ypserv. The strange thing is nis knows
it's changed because if I try to change it again I need to supply the new
password, but the system thinks it's still at the old one (When I telnet I
have to use the old password till the kill -HUP is done).

Any ideas?

Please could people reply by email direct to me.

Thanks very much in advance.

Regards,

Trefor S.
