Re: NIS+ & Password Syncronization

Hi Marcello,

Please make sure that you run "Keylogin" for the user "foo". Keylogin
obtains the credentials (private key and netname) from the NIS+ server for
the currently-login or the specified user. These user credentials are
required to be present when you perform a password change. You could access
Keylogin either from the NIS+ Properties dialog or the command-line utility
"keylogin.exe". The command-line utility allows you to obtain the
credentials for any specified user.

Also, our Keylogin process works similarly to that of Solaris systems. The
difference is we use the registry instead of "keyserv". Please consult our
product manuals or Solaris' man pages for more information.

Hung
