RedHat NIS Setup Problem
We have a RedHat 8.0 server which is being used as a NIS master. However we have a few problems with it.
1. When root on the NIS server goes to change the password on a user account, we get:
# passwd user
Changing password for user user.
New password:
Retype new password:
RPC: Can't encode arguments
The password has not been changed on $SERVER.
passwd: failed preliminary check by password service
50% of the time yppasswd fails the same way, or hangs for 90 seconds.
2. Now we have some stone-aged Solaris 2.6 systems on the network. These systems do not understand MD5 hash texts, so users cannot log into them. How do I change the configuration on the NIS server so that when passwords are applied, I get crypt hash texts instead of MD5 hash texts?
