Very Computer

I use the AdminTool regularly from my "sysadmin" account, as suggested in the
Solaris docs (rather than from root).

However, today whenever I try to modify any of the nis+ databases, I get a
permission denied error.  I checked the sysadmin group and my account was
still in it.

As far as I know, nothing has changed.

Suggestions for a course of action?

Two things I would check are.

1.)  Are you authenticated?  Easy check is to niscat the passwd table
and see if you can see the encrypted passwords.  If you aren't
authenticated, then do a keylogin

2.)  Check that you are still in the group that owns the passwd, cred,
and auto_home tables.   Do a nisgrpadm -l adm.your.domain.

Let me know what turns out.
