Hello there,
How do you change a password for a local account without getting
interference from the NIS password account? The local account just happens
to be on the system acting as the NIS Master and the system is an Alpha running
OSF/1 3.0a.
My "/etc/svc.conf" is:
aliases=local,yp
group=local,yp
hosts=local,bind,yp
netgroup=local,yp
networks=local,yp
passwd=local
protocols=local,yp
rpc=local,yp
services=local,yp
SECLEVEL=BSD # for backwards compatibility ONLY
I have gone to the point of rebooting the machine so that it should only see the
local "/etc/passwd" file.
I type:
passwd winger
It responds with:
Changing NIS password for winger
Old NIS password:
I have already changed my NIS password. I want to change my local passwd.
Any help I would greatly appreciate.
Thank You.
