Package: nis Version: 3.17-17 Severity: normal When I try to change the NIS password of a user with passwd (or rather yppasswd) the password change will get rejected by rpc.yppasswdd server. The server log says "rpc.yppasswdd[31968]: Invalid password.". The new password I tried should be long enough (eight characters). The NIS server/client system uses shadow passwords and normal NIS authentification works fine. I suspect the failed password change has to do with using blowfish hashes for the password. Is that possible? The yppasswd tool I tried this with is from the same package, same version.
