I must not be doing this quite right. I placed a line in the passwd file in /etc/pam.d so that it now looks like this: more /etc/pam.d/passwd #%PAM-1.0 auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so password required /lib/security/pam_unix.so nis password required /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=11 dcredit=2 difok=3 password required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so use_authtok nullok md5 shadow Now when I use passwd instead of yppasswd it asks me everything twice, and I get an error at the end, although it does seem to be talking to the NIS server. [beth@copperhead beth]$ passwd Changing password for beth (current) UNIX password: Changing password for beth (current) UNIX password: Enter new UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: The password has been changed on gandalf.pns.anl.gov. New UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: passwd: Permission denied any advice? >On Wed, 07 Feb 2001, Rick Goyette wrote: > >> I have noticed that pam seems to treat yppasswd (on an NIS client) >> differently than passwd ( on the NIS server).
