    All,
       Very strange NIS+ issue.

    OS: SunOS 5.8 Generic_108528-29 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-150

    nsswitch.conf:

    passwd: files [SUCCESS=return] nisplus
    group: files [SUCCESS=return] nisplus

    Problem: When trying to change passwords for local machine accounts I
    receive permission denied. Now, if I take out the nisplus token from the
    nsswitch.conf file I have no problems with this.

    History: Due to some problems with the box one of the admins chose to build
    a new box and move things over. Now I cannot verify, but I suspect that
    what transpired is that the machine credentials were never removed before
    initializing the new box and now there are conflictiing credentials in the
    creds table. Possible? Anyone seen this before?

    Kris-
