Yes, it is on the root master server as I have already mentioned in the
beginning of my first message. Actually we have only two servers both
running Solaris 8 - one is NIS+ root master and the other is replica and
they are both in the admin group.
On the replica as root I still cannot change user's passwords but I get
something different:
# passwd user
This password differs from your secure RPC password.
Please enter your old Secure RPC password:
This password does not decrypt your secure RPC password.
...
I am keylogged in and anyway she doesn't mean the root Secure RPC
password as it does not accept it and keylogin does.
E.P.
