Hi,
Any errors after yppasswd command in /var/log/messages file or in hpux server logs?

regards,

1) if I use password aging for this account - yppasswd on LINUX
even doesn't accept "old NIS password"


2) without password aging yppasswd on LINUX works fine


3) when I use "passwd" for changing password on LINUX,
I get "all authentication tokens updated succesfully",
but it doesn't change password on NIS server.
I have the same behavior with or without password aging.

I have never see related error messages on LINUX/HPUX boxes.
