problem in changing the NIS passwd
Now I face a problem in changing the NIS passwd,I have no idea,want you to help me!
Today I add some user in the NIS master server ,I "vi" /etc/passwd &/etc/shadow,add user account and password by hand(shadow----no password ,only eight ":").
when finsh,I login ,system told me to input a password for twice ,but I got error message:
"Creat clnt failure:RPCSmilierogram not registered.
permission denied." Then disappear.
I login again ,I got another error message:
"Passwd (NIS): Couldn't change passwd/attributes for test
password file/table busy.Try again later."
I login with exist user account ,succeed,but couldn't chang password.
whether i chang file "rpc.yppasswd" setting will resolve this promble ?
I don't known what to do, please help me to resolve this promble !
Thanks !!!
