Good Afternoon<br />
<br />
I have a nis+ database running on a collection of solaris 8 servers, after applying a patch 108993-32 we had an password reset issue to which sun advised to add the following line to our nis+ masters pam.conf file: <br />
<br />
passwd &nbsp; auth required &nbsp; pam_passwd_auth.so.1<br />
<br />
no we are getting error messages when clients try to change their own password:<br />
<br />
&nbsp;This password does not decrypt your secure RPC password.<br />
Please enter your old Secure RPC password: <br />
<br />
and the user does not know what their old secure rpc password is and to be honest I am stumped as well, I am new to nis+ and am trying to cover managing the enviroment while our solaris admin is on leave. &nbsp;I would appricate a direction to head.

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
