RPC.YPPASSWDD(8)					    BSD System Manager's Manual 					  RPC.YPPASSWDD(8)

NAME

     rpc.yppasswdd -- NIS update password file daemon

SYNOPSIS

     rpc.yppasswdd [-d directory] [-noshell] [-nogecos] [-nopw] [-m arg1 [arg2 ...]]

DESCRIPTION

     rpc.yppasswdd must be running on the NIS master server to allow users to change information in the password file.

     The options are as follows:

	   -d directory    Change the root directory of the password file from ``/'' to directory.  It is important to create the binary database
			   files (pwd.db and spwd.db) when using this switch or the password change will fail.	The databases need to be created
			   only once with the following command:

				 pwd_mkdb -d directory directory/etc/master.passwd

	   -noshell	   Don't allow changes of the shell field in the passwd file.

	   -nogecos	   Don't allow changes of the gecos field in the passwd file.

	   -nopw	   Don't allow changes of the password in the passwd file.

	   -m arg1 [arg2 ...]
			   Additional arguments to pass to make in /var/yp.

FILES

     /etc/passwd
     /etc/master.passwd
