NIS Problem

2007-12-24 20:16:00

Dear Sun-Managers

I am having an NIS problem. I'm running Solaris 2.5.1 and cannot
make a password change. Everytime I attempt to do so I
get the error "couldn't create client". I am doing this on the NIS master.
I have run pwck against the passwd file in /etc/yp with no significant
errors shown. I have also recreated the NIS master, but everytime I still
get the same error. If I revert back to standard non-NIS
mode I have no problems in changing a password in the /etc/passwd file. I
have inspected the /var/yp/shadow file and I find no errors there.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
