• Configuring yppasswdd Logging
To configure the yppasswdd logging, complete the following steps:
1. Stop yppasswdd:
# /sbin/init.d/nis.server stop
2. Add the -l logfile option to the YPPASSWD_OPTIONS variable in the
/etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs file:
YPPASSWDD_OPTIONS=”-l /var/yp/nis_log”
If you specify a log file with the -l option, yppasswdd shares that log file
with the other NIS daemons.
3. Restart the NIS server:
# /sbin/init.d/nis.server start
