I have a 240GTX running as my YPMASTER & I have another 240GTX an 25GT PI running as NIS clients. When not using NIS, a user's passwd can be expired by placing a ,.. after the passwd in /etc/passwd. This will force the user to change his passwd upon loging in the next time. This begins to work on the NIS clients. That is when rlogin to the client, the following occurs: _____________________________________________________________________________ Your password has expired. Choose a new one. Changing yp password for c60244 Old yp password: New password: Retype new password: couldn't change passwd Cannot execute /usr/bin/yppasswd Connection closed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was wondering why this does not work, or if anyone out there has any ideas/ experiences with this. If so please post or try to e-mail to me directly. Any comments/suggestions are welcomed & wanted. Thanks. vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv | Kenneth M.
