I add a user called test, but he cannot log in the machine, the error is incorrect passwd. That the problem, i tried to change his passwd, but i get this error: myname:/var/yp# passwd test Changing NIS password for test on localhost in domain isack. New password: Please enter a password at least 6 characters in length. New password: Retype new password: passwd: failed to change NIS password: RPC: Success myname:/var/yp# It sounds strange once i can finger test, but i cannot change its password nor can he log into the machine. Any ideia on how to fix this error would be nice. Thank you for your time and cooperation. -- What about something different this year: Crash your FreeBSD box!
