- Hello, we have a NIS/NFS setup with a Sun workstation running 4.1.2 as
- the NIS server.
-
- A user on a Rs6000 running AIX v3.2 with cumlative patch tape of 9 Aug installed
- attempts a yyppasswd:
-
- % yppasswd
- Changing NIS password for willie
- Old NIS password:
- New password:
- Retype new password:
- RPC: Server can't decode arguments
- couldn't change passwd
-
- What does that RPC error mean? At the time the Sun system was slow due to
- heavy load I could do a yyppasswd with my own account.
-
- Thanks!
