NIS password aging is not working with Red Hat Enterprise Linux clients against a HP-UX NIS server

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • NIS password aging is not working with a Red Hat Enterprise Linux clients against a HP-UX NIS Server. Password aging is working with HP-UX and Solaris clients.

  • We have NIS environment with password aging setup for each account (NIS server is HPUX 11.0 without secure password facility, and use /bin/passwd -x accountname to define user password age)

    # ypcat passwd |grep pcuser
    pcuser:GxF6NRoyblqO6,O.IU:8937:39:D300,PCUSER,SA,SystemAdmin,:/home/users/pcuser:/bin/sh
    

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4/5/6 as NIS clients
  • HP-UX 11.0 NIS server
