Administering NIS users

Changing user passwords

To change a NIS password, have the user enter:

yppasswd user_name

The system then prompts the user to enter the old and new passwords, as the local passwd command does. Refer to the yppasswdd(1Mnis) manual page for information about the yppasswdd daemon and to the yppasswd(1nis) manual page for information about the yppasswd command.
