I just tried to compile 'npasswd' on some new
FreeBSD machines we got. These machines are running
yp so they have the same account database as our OSF/1
and Ultrix machines.
While npasswd compiles fine, it core dumps when
trying to change a password. In addition, if you run it
as root it prints out "must change password for xxx on
server".
Has anyone ported this to FreeBSD/have any
FreeBSD-yp tips? I'll debug the stupid thing if I have
to, but I was hoping someone had already.
