        Hi Managers!!! I wonder if someone has gone through this weird
problems:

Im running DU 4.0b on an Alphaserver2100 with C2 plus a distributed
environment with NIS on some Alphastations 200. Im having some user
problems:
1.- Suddenly, I loose the root password of the server. Its just blown
away! I've noticed that it happens when you lock the screen within CDE,
some other times, i don't do anything before it blows the passwd. So I
boot single user and change it, passwd prompts me that Ive never changed
the password, successful or not.

2.- Some users cant login in the stations. The login screen shows as
"account disabled--see Account Admin", the problem is that I login as
root, use ypmatch for the locked user and the user has the "u_lock_at_" entry
so what's wrong with it?

    I wonder if there's any problem with the C2 subset.
    It's pretty unpredictable this NIS environment, its getting on my
nerves. Well, Thanks a lot for your help and time. See you!!!
