Ooh that's a hard one, as the actress said to the bishop. When you change a
password on client1 is that change immediately propagated i.e. can you
immediately go to client2 and log in with the new password. (When I say
"immediately" here I mean fairly quickly - it can take a few seconds for the
changes to propagate). Have you seen that the NIS passwd map and its source
file have really been changed ? Do you perhaps have some restrictions set up
such that zeus can't make an RPC call on zeus ? Have you any slave servers
in the network ? I'm clutching at straws a bit here as it's been a while
since I ran a big NIS domain and I'm trying to drag things up from
braincells which may well have evaporated by now :-)
