I' m using a NIS and Shadow. Sometimes, I cannot login to the Client, and the syslog shows login[1860]: no shadow password for `cheub' on `ttyp7' from `thue' Sep 17 login[1860]: invalid password for `cheub' on `ttyp7' from `thue'
If I issue a yppasswd (which is possible since I am logged in under X Windows) and change my password, I (and all other users) can login again. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
