YP and the passwd file Followup-To: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Date: Tue, 13 Jun 1995 10:07:33 -0500 Organization: Cornell University Lines: 16 Sender: prw1@cornell.edu (Verified) Message-ID: <prw1-130695100733@128.84.239.123> NNTP-Posting-Host: 128 We are trying to get our 486 BSD 2.0 computer to use our yp server to get passwds. The computer binds to the server ok, but when I try to add a + to the passwd via vipw I get the following error message: pwd_mkdb : corrupted entry pwd_mkdb : at line #12 pwd_mkdb : /etc/pw.000124 I have tryed this multi times and I get the same message over and over again. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this? Thanks!! Paul R. Weber prw1@cornell.edu
