SUMMARY: Can't find rpc.yppasswd

Hi Sun Mangagers,

My original posting:

We have a sparc2 which is a Slave Server to the NIS Master Server. All of
a sudden the users are not able to change passwords. If we type yppasswd
and press return, it comes back saying Can't find rpc.yppasswd server. If
we do a ypwhich it says it is bound to the master! But yet yp passwords
can not be changed.
The daemons that are running are:
ypserv
ypxfrd
rpc.ypupdated
ypbind -ypsetme

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Each of you who replied pointed out that the master NIS server must not be
running the rpc.yppasswdd daemon. That was indeed the problem. My thanks
