Hi!

I'm having problems with my NIS server. Users can authenticate just fine
against this server (1.6_BETA1) but nobody can change the passwords, not
even root. And to make things more difficult to debug, there's nothing
in the logs to help. The only thing in the logs is this line in
/var/log/authlog:

Jun 10 11:20:16 server rpcbind: connect from x.x.x.x to getport/addr(yppasswdd)

server:~> passwd
Changing YP password for martti.
Old password:
New password:
Retype new password:
Couldn't change YP password.

server:~> ypcat passwd
martti:*:1000:1000:Martti Kuparinen:/home/martti:/bin/bash
[...]

server:~> ls -l /var/yp/etc
