Hello All Managers:
I have recently invoked NIS on our DU network of computers.
It is working fine.
Before switching to NIS I had dropped-in passwd+ to replace the
standard passwd executable. After using passwd+, yppasswd is
very difficult to live with.
yppasswd does almost no password checking
(it will take just about anything)
yppasswd has very bad error messages
e.g. -> old password entered incorrectly:
error message: unable to change passwd on NIS server
e.g. -> password over 8 characters:
error message: password mismatch.
Does anyone know how to get passwd+ to work with NIS or
does anyone have a drop-in replacement for yppasswd.
I need one badly.
Thanks.
Richard
