Hi Mark, Its not about editing the file, but about adding the "nis" option to the pam_unix.so line using the documented configuration interface (pam-auth-update).
I can understand that you hesitate to touch the complex pam configuration scheme, but surely common-password is _not_ a critical system configuration file. It is just the default scheme for changing passwords. On openSUSE and RedHat this is not an issue. How comes that it is on Debian?
