Hi , Can you please check what is passwd command configured in PAM because there can be some synchronization problem with the passwd change and the login (authentication) , If passwd command is configured in pam config file to change the password in ldap then your passwd command will change your password in ldap and not in NIS where you are expecting the change to take place , So please check whether you are changing the passwd in NIS or not. regards bandi Meinl Thorsten NBTE wrote: > Hallo, > > We have a NIS-Master running under HP-UX and a linux-client with RedHat 7.0 > running PAM without shadow.
