you are root on a nisplus client or the Master (or a Replicant)?
uuuh, it's long time ago, but wasn't this like that, that you have to authenticate to nisplus to change values in a database?

Franz,
I am root on the master server. I never had this problem before. It did not require a root password.
Here is something interesting I found out. Initially, it did not allow me to change passwords at all, as root, until I executed a keylogin command. Now, it allows me to change passwords, but after prompting me for the root passwd.
Do you think that roots' authentication is messed up?
