Folks,

DU4.0d with NIS and C2
The problem was, that on clients NIS users
could not change their passwords. An error
occurs: "can't rewrite protected password
dbase."

The Solution was very simple:
The passwd program remained on a NFS
export, with the "no suid-programs allowed"
option enabled. Using the local passwd
program did it :-)
