• You may have incorrectly typed the password.
• There may be no entry for name in the cred table.
• NIS+ could not decrypt the key (possibly because the entry might be
corrupt).
•The /etc/nsswitch.conf file may be directing the query to a local
password in an /etc/passwd file that is different than the NIS+
password recorded in the cred table.
