I setup NIS on a few systems, with one NIS server. Everything works fine except for passwords that expire. On the server (does not use NIS), passwords expire properly, users can not longer login. On the clients, users can login after there password has expired. I was told that this sounds like a PAM problem. Here is my /etc/pam.d/login file: auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so account required /lib/security/pam_unix.so password required /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so password required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok session required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so session optional /lib/security/pam_console.so Documentation tells me that 'account' is the pam type that does password aging. I have tried to replace /lib/security/pam_unix.so with /lib/security/pam_unix_acct.so and /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so with no luck. -- Paul Faure paul@paulfaure.com Carleton University Systems Engineer 3rd Year paul@porkchop.org Engsoc Admin/BOG Technical Director paul@engsoc.org
