Does anyone know what the name of the lockfile that is used by yppasswdd to
lock the passwd file when a password is changed/updated?
We have some home brew perl scripts that add accounts to passwd file in
/var/yp/src/passwd, then do a make and up to now, we have simply ignored file
locking. I played with yppasswdd in the past and I identified the lock file
but I neglected to write it down and our current environment doesn't allow me
the luxury of tracing yppasswdd (we are now a very busy cluster!). So again,
does anyone know the name of the file used by yppasswd to show that the
passwd file is locked??
Thanks!
