Hi Sun-Managers,

this was the original problem:

> is there a possibility to use the passwd command to change a password
> from the NIS+ passwd table? Under SunOS4/YP you use rpc.yppasswdd to do
> so, what is the equivalent under Solaris2.3/NIS+ ?

Thanks to the friendly help of the following nice guys:

"Douglas L. Acker" <acker@se01.wg2.waii.com>
Tom Holmberg <holmbert@ochampus.mil>
<fruechte@rz5.rz.fh-wilhelmshaven.de>
Mike Bennett <mikebe@pass.bt.co.uk>
thill@mmts.eds.com (tommy hill)
"Srinivasa R. Yalavarthy" <srini@concorde.com>

And the solution is: there is no equivalent for rpc.yppasswdd under Sol2.3/NIS+ :-(

So I have to tell my users that in the future they will have to use nispasswd instead
of passwd. (Though of course there is always solutions like replacing local passwd
by a script or aliasing passwd to nispasswd)
