rpc.yppasswdd(8) BSD System Manager's Manual rpc.yppasswdd(8)
NAME
rpc.yppasswdd -- YP update password file daemon
SYNOPSIS
rpc.yppasswdd [-d directory] [-noshell] [-nogecos] [-nopw]
[-m arg1 arg2 ...]
DESCRIPTION
rpc.yppasswdd must be running on the YP master server to allow users to
change information in the password file. If the user needs to change his
password this is normally done with a program called yppasswd. This pro-
gram doesn't exist in OpenBSD but is integrated into passwd(1). passwd
will automatically determine which password database should be modified.
To force a change of a YP password when a local one also exists, use
passwd -y.
Other user information can be changed with chpass(1).
If the file /var/yp/yppasswdd.log exists then messages will be written to
the file.
The options are as follows:
-d directory
Use the specified directory to get at the password-related files
instead of /etc.
-noshell
Don't allow changes of the shell field in the passwd file.
-nogecos
Don't allow changes of the gecos field in the passwd file.
-nopw Don't allow changes of the password in the passwd file.
-m arg1 arg2 ...
Don't use /var/yp/securenet. Use another file with another file
format. For futher information see man page for ypserv.acl.
