I have a NIS server setup to maintain user and groups. Login of the
user is o.k but when i try to change the password with yppasswd, i get
the error: yppasswd daemon does not run on NIS Master server.
But i started yppasswdd on the NIS-Server. With rpcinfo -p <IP-of the
server> i get the line:
program version proto port
100009 1 udp 690 yppasswd
What did I wrong here?
Kind regards

I have an U10 running Solaris 8 04/01. I have installed NIS and configured
it as the master server.
My problem is that I can't get rpc.yppasswd to run. I checked the scripts to
start it and the following line appears to be the culprit in <ypstart>
master=`/usr/sbin/makedbm -u /var/yp/$domain/passwd.byname | grep
YP_MASTER_NAME | nawk '{ print $2 }'`
Gives an error of <couldnt open /var/yp/newcastle/passwd.byname dbm>
Checking for the existance of </var/yp/newcastle/passwd.byname> shows up
<passwd.byname.pag> and <passwd.byname.dir>.
Obviously the filenames are different but changing the name to the one that
exists doesn't help.
I can get it to run manually but surely I don't have to bastardise Solaris
like this to get it to work properly??
Anybody point me in the right direction?
Cheers,
Mik
