I know I should run ypppasswd on the client side, but when i change some
user's password on the server machine, running ypmake doesn't update the
NIS databases, I MUST run make under /var/yp to get the passwords
updated to the NIS service. This seems like a NIS/ypmake bug?
On the other side, if I run make under /var/yp for the first time, the
"group" table is built empty, and running ypmake rebuilds it correctly.
