Hi,

I'm having problems changing user passwords on our NIS network.  All of
the machines were recently upgraded to Red Hat 7.2.  Users can log in to
the machines, but they can't change their passwords.  We used to use
'yppasswd' to change passwords.  Now the command is going all the
through retyping the new password.  But then you get this error:

Please enter new password:
Please retype new password:
Error while changing the NIS password.
The NIS password has not been changed on
ripley.emeraldbiostructures.com.


All of the network services seem to be working, like NFS, telnet,
Samba.  'ypwhich' on any machine returns the correct NIS server.  I
restarted ypbind on all of the machines with no error, and also
restarted ypserv on the NIS server.  I still can't change passwords. 
'ypcat -k passwd' displays all of the users like I expect.  Why does
this network appear to recognize everything except passwords?  Thanks,



Hidong
