Changing password for john. Old Password:
which is exactly what I do NOT want. It does not help feeding root's password in there, and since I do not know the user's password, I am unable to change the password.
Any help?
Thanks in advance,

As root it should look like this:
passwd john Changing password for john. New password:
Does john have his account on the master server?
yppasswd is the command for changing NIS passwords. I've been using webmin though. It can be set up to change information in other modules. This means when I change a users password, it gets changed in etc, NIS, and samba all at once. -- Louis D. Richards LDR Interactive Technologies
