Dear Dave Martini ,
If user change his password typing command passwd. if it's not taken
then you have to see the permision of passwd file. It's location /usr/bin/passwd -r-s--x--x
you have see the sgid bit set or not. I told this permision is redhat-9. I use the RHELAS 3 and
4 but I could 't remember the permision of passwd file. Try it I hope you will be overcome this problem.

I would like a user to change his password on his local RHEL 3 account
but when typing
passwd
it is going to NIS since this machine is a NIS client.
In Solaris there is a command
passwd -r files
which means to update the local files but I don't see that option in
redhat.
How do I change the local account password for a user.
Thank You.
