NIS password change issues
When I try to change my password on a workstation (normal user account) I get this:
mezz@daisy:~$ passwd
Changing password for mezz on NIS server
Old NIS password:
New password:
Re-enter new password:
pam_chauthtok: System error
mezz@daisy:~$
if I use yppasswd the output is the same except the pam line is not there.
Even though `yppasswd` isn't throwing an error, it still isn't working. I've done everything I can think of short of rebooting the server. Perhaps if the labs clear out sometime today I will try that too.
help!

Re: NIS password change issues
user1:dldld:101:101
#user2:dkldsjf:201:101
also, check permissions of /etc/NIS/passwd and make sure its -rw-r--r--

Re: NIS password change issues
Create a /etc/shells file. Use "man shells" for more info. you should have all the shells with their absolute pathnames specified in this file.
Hope this helps.

Re: NIS password change issues
Nothing commented out (just checked to be sure)
passwd was set to 444 so I 644'd it and the problem remains.
Sanjay:
It is all set up like that (I use "/usr/local/bin/bash" for my users)
Thanks for the try guys.. any other ideas?

Re: NIS password change issues
Here is another try,
http://us-support.external.hp.com/cki/bin/doc.pl/sid=5a2f36d315945a4a74/screen=ckiDisplayDocument?docId=200000024613880
I would say the 2nd option is more probable,
quote //
2. Make sure /etc/ptmp does not exist. (This is a lockfile used by rpc.yppasswdd BEFORE it will do a ypmake, if it exists already no ypmake will occur.)
//unquote
Hope this helps.

Re: NIS password change issues
I'm not very pam savvy. I have no real idea how it works. The error I'm getting isn't listed or even mentioned on that page (or any other pages I can find).
I wish I got something like "PAM_TRY_AGAIN" so I would at least know the error was pam.conf. Of course I get the errors that don't get any google hits. :)
hmmm, that page says that pam_chauthtok "performs a preliminary check before attempting to update passwords".
Does anyone know what these checks are? Perhaps I have some sort of system service tied down too tight so its failing a check. (but then according to the www page it would reply with try_again and not a system error)
::sigh::

Re: NIS password change issues
/etc/ptmp does not exist. Real bummer too because that would be a great solution :)
You did make me think of one interesting thing. I use `make` and not `ypmake` to manually push my map changes out. If memory serves the previous sysadmin modified make so it would push out auto.direct along with auto.master. If I try `ypmake` after an auto.direct change it does not push that map (or even acknowlege it). I have no idea if this is even relevent to my problem, but the makes came up so I decided it is worth a shot to mention.
