We have just started running NIS with enhanced security. I have a couple of
questions :
1. Is there any way around using dxaccounts to create user accounts?? ie a
command line route. I'm assuming that there isn't an already written script
so I am prepared to write a script but I'm not sure what files to maipulate
etc.
2. What do I need to do to enable a user account to be able to create
accounts without being logged on as root.
3. In the security documentation it advises to change a NIS user password
when running enhanced security you need to use the passwd command. This
works fine on any of the NIS slaves but when I try to run the passwd command
on the NIS master you get the following error :
Password not changed: cannot access protected password entry.
For any of the above questions it could be just me being stupid, and any
help will be most gratefully received.
Thanks in advance,
Mark Backhouse
