-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I have just installed NIS on my network to keep passwords (among other things) in sync between machines. Users should now use yppasswd to change the passwords on the client machines. Would it be safe to rm /usr/bin/passwd and symlink yppasswd to it so that the changes are transparent to the users? Is there a better way to do it? I considered entirely removing the passwd package, but it provides more than just /usr/bin/passwd and is in the 'required' section, so I figured it would be a very bad thing.
Thanks for any advice. noah PGP public key available at http://lynx.dac.neu.edu/home/httpd/n/nmeyerha/mail.html or by 'finger -l [EMAIL PROTECTED]' -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBN9fMYodCcpBjGWoFAQHBSgP9HVkOGd4rkVMZ29V3x6U9LeL81ym/DWx4 BcFxrA8LtGVV3Y1U8rfxIuZgNK2sVFhcfUhJXEmRNhzlWTjv6QTgB4L0tpe39jEW rD1QSVqb+evJbfR++YuF/Rq9YNZH4KGoVMJvCm9AtimpHe6EdTG6iAafl7YEn0rP IxYC6JKuy2o= =/165 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
