Hi

How to setup NIS password to change on the next logon.
In local its just add ,.. at he end of the passwd field in /etc/passwd.

But in NIS it downt works after change of the password thiese simbols do not disapiers they just are added to the end of the new password

I think the normal "passwd -f" command can be used as long as you specify the -r option with nis or nisplus, whichever applies. See the man page on passwd for details.

Yes it woud be a solution but then you specifying it woudnt works becouse this combination is not suported.

Sorry for the slow reply. I evacuated from the stupid hurricane.

Yes, I see that the -f and -r are not compatible in the man page now. Sorry to mislead you.

If passwd -f doesn't work (shouldn't it?) then I usually edit the passwd file manually, as you have already done. Remember to run ypmake after. Not sure what to troubleshoot after that.
