Hi, I compiled openssh 2.1.1p1 on Irix 6.2 with MIPS 7.2.1.2m compiler. All works fine except the yppasswd command from Irix (it's no NIS-problem, same with rlogin works): Logged in with 'ssh machine -l user1' # who user1 ttyq0 Jun 19 15:17 (xxxxx.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de) # ypcat passwd |grep user1 user1:xxxxxxxxxxxxx:1535:1500:User1:/usr/people/user1:/bin/tcsh # ypcat passwd |grep user2 user2:xxxxxxxxxxxxx:2108:2100:User2:/usr/people/user2:/bin/tcsh # yppasswd Changing NIS password for user2 on nis_server.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de. Permission denied User2 changes with different sessions, but is the same for every 'yppasswd' in the same session. 'yppasswd user1' works fine, so it seems a problem of getting the correct UID. Do you know about that problem? Is there any patch available?
