On the computers at school (the clients are running redhat 5.2), passwd is linked to yppasswd. I dont know if that is a recommandation since there are some configuration errors on these machines but it seems to work :> (well, it used to until they decided to add NT clients, now we have to use another program so that the samba password is changed as well) > Thanks for any advice. > > noah Hope this helps -Lex
