Hello,

We are running Digital unix 3.2c with nis.

Regarding resetting a users' password under nis:

My understanding with Digital Tech Support,
is that I must first manually 'vi' the
/var/yp/src/passwd and 'blank' out the existing
password, of the user, before issuing the 'yppasswd user'.

Does anyone automate this process of 'blanking' out
a specific user's password?

It there another way to reset a users' password
without first blanking the password first?
