sjreilly Member Registered: Oct 2007 Location: Edinburgh, Scotland Distribution: Debian, CentOS, RHEL, Mint, Ubuntu Posts: 79 Rep:	yppasswd updating insecurely Hi, I have a Ubuntu 10.04 Server running NIS services for passwd, shadow and group. When a user tries to change their password they are able to enter the same password and this is accepted! I have tried adding the libpam-cracklib or libpam-passwdqc modules and restarting the NIS service between module installs, but I get the same problem. TIA, Steve
