Re: [suse-security] When does NIS refresh the client's pwds?

Hello!

I've set up a NIS Server and Client. So far everything is fine...

But when I change a user's PWD with yppasswd on the client machine or with passwd on the server, my client lets the user log in with the old password...

So actually I'm searching for a way to refresh the password and user information somehow in realtime.

check nscd for that. Name Service Caching Deamon. That one holds some informations in a local cache. This is sometimes usefull: if your nis server isn't avaiable, the client doesn't loose all user informations immedially. HTH
