the NIS password daemon (yppasswdd) in FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE does not work correctly when the password database file is not /etc/master.passwd. when started as: yppasswdd -m /var/yp/master.passwd we have the following problems: 1) still need an account entry in /etc/master.passwd for user on NIS server. 2) the /etc/master.passwd password must be the same as /var/yp/master.passwd on the NIS server to change the password on the client. I do not want these users in the /etc/master.passwd of the NIS server, that is the whole reason for not using the /etc/master.passwd as the NIS password. I would change the problem, but I could not the sources to yppasswdd. --mark.
