Try the attached patch; I really need to send-pr this :) The current code assumes you always export /etc/master.passwd. There is still a bug in there somewhere that prevents you from changing an NIS password when logged into the NIS master itself, but at least there's a workaround for that (log into a client to change the password). -- Dan Nelson dnelson_at_allantgroup.com
