Hello Folks

I've got a linux network of three machines. We use Redhat4.1, and the NIS
version distributed with that.

I first noticed that yppasswd wasn't working properly. Later I discovered
that whenever that program was run, it seemed to add entries to the
/etc/passwd file rather than change them. My passwd file just kept getting
larger, with multiple listings for each user!

So can anyone clue me in on what's happening? I'm very happy to RTFM, but
perhaps someone could give me a hint as to where to start?

Cheers


David..
