I've installed the Debian NIS stuff and it all works wonderfully for
regular users. However, /usr/share/doc/nis/nis.debian.howto.gz says that,
"Root" can - using the root password - change other people's
passwords, finger info and shell.
However, as root on my NIS master, I can't change my (markc's) password:
# yppasswd markc
Unknown error
yppasswd: unknown user (uid=0).
#
My /var/yp/Makefile has MINUID=1000 and MINGID=1000, which seem nice, and
/etc/nsswitch.conf has passwd: group: and shadow: as compat (although I
can't find documentation that tells me what compat means).
Am I just doing something dumb?
