I have a NIS master server, connected to a NIS backup server,
serving 2.1.6 clients on a seperate subnet, viz:
NIS -> NIS -> client
master server backup server
I've made sure that the master.passwd.* and passwd.* maps have
been transferred to the backup server. Yet, when a user changes
their password, the client continues to use the "old" password,
even though on the NIS servers, the password *has* changed.
What am I overlooking?
