Package: nis
Version: 3.17-32
Severity: wishlist
To make passwd work for NIS clients an option "nis" has to be
added to the pam_unix.so line in /etc/pam.d/common-password,
e.g.
password [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so obscure sha512 nis
Without the "nis" option the user gets an error message
% passwd
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
passwd: password unchanged
%
This is very hard to find. It would be very user friendly and
much less error-prone if the nis postinst script could
automagically modify the pam configuration accordingly.
