Usermin Password change on YP/NIS

[Bjoern K. <B.K...@rz...>]

Hi  everyone,  we finally managed to be able to authenticate users via
NIS/YP, so they can login.

But when they change their password, they get a "successful" message,
the password itself isn't changed though.

*wild  guess* Does suermin use the "passwd" command, and can I replace
it with yppasswd?

I  have  attached our /etc/pam.d/usermin but I guess there is no error
because  all  NIS users CAN login and read mail, etc, they just cannot
change their password.

Any help greatly appreciated! :)
We  want  to use usermin as "change your password server" because less
people today want to understand UN*X command lines.

[root@linus log]# cat /etc/pam.d/usermin
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=3Dsystem-auth
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
account    required     /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=3Dsystem-auth
password   required     /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=3Dsystem-auth
session    required     /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=3Dsystem-auth
session    optional     /lib/security/pam_console.so
auth     required        pam_unix.so     shadow nullok
account  required        pam_unix.so
password required        pam_unix.so     shadow nullok use_authtok
session  required        pam_unix.so

The  last  4  lines  are  c/p  from the usermin help page, login works
without them, too.
