In my original posting, I described how I was using NIS and Enhanced Security
and that the error "Can't rewrite protected password entry" was being
generated whenever a NIS user logged in. Thanks to Jonathan.Buchanan_at_ska.com
who pointed out the following:
- The file /etc/auth/system/files must contain entries for
prpasswd and prpasswd:t. We have added them like this:
/var/yp/src/prpasswd:\
:f_type=r:f_mode#0660:f_owner=auth:f_group=auth:\
:chkent:
/var/yp/src/prpasswd\:t:\
:f_type=r:f_mode#0660:f_owner=auth:f_group=auth:\
:chkent:
Adding these lines to /etc/auth/system/files and setting the prpasswd file
with the specified access permissions allowed logins to complete
successfully.
Thanks to all the others who provided their input,
Rob
