Hello,

Thanx for all replies. We tried all your suggestions, but it couln`t
solve the problem.

We noticed another thing that, perhaps it helps to explain the reason of
the problem.

/var/adm/syslog.dated/06-Oct-17:36#>more auth.log
Oct 7 09:55:23 bornova yppasswdd[2670]: password file busy - try again.
Oct 7 09:56:46 bornova yppasswdd[1870]: password file busy - try again.
Oct 7 10:05:59 bornova yppasswdd[1870]: password file busy - try again.
Oct 7 10:07:11 bornova yppasswdd[1870]: password file busy - try again.

This shows that passwd file is locked. Now are there any suggestion
to solve the problem? (reboot was not the solution.)
