better NIS passwords !!!
 

i'm using a NIS server for central user authentication, once the user logs in & if the user types yppasswd he can change his own password, but the users can put simple passwords but it should be at least 6 characters, HOW TO PREVENT USERS FROM PUTTING SIMPLE PASSWORDS IN NIS???

PLS HELP

You could always use nis through PAM and use the PAM modules to validate the password first.

can u please explain how to do it??

THANKS

PAM and NIS are both incredibly simple interfaces, and should present no problems to this.
