Here's a challenge for you NIS gurus:
We have our NIS database on HP-UX servers (1 master, 4 slaves). Users on
HP systems have no problems with yppasswd.
My DUNIX V4.0D systems -- 2 AS8200 TruCluster, 1 AlphaStaion 250) -- which
are configured to use the NIS database for passwd service exhibit a strange
performance problem. Some users who try to change their passwords via
yppasswd have to wait up to 5 minutes before the "Old password:" prompt
appears. Other users will get the prompt almost immediately. The problem
is specific to users and not to system/network load -- i.e. User A always
has to wait, User B always gets good response...
Other "yp" commands seem to function fine. In fact "ypmatch <userid> passwd"
always returns the passwd info almost immediately for any userid.
Any ideas why this would happen??? Any suggestions for correcting???
TIA!!!
