User Login Problems
Q: Why do I get the following error on login:
"Password does not decrypt secret key for ..."
A: This means that the user's login password and network password do
not match. After login, the user must run keylogin to get their NIS+
credentials:
%% keylogin
They will have to type their NIS+ network password at the keylogin
prompt. This may very well be 'nisplus' if the user is logging in for
the first time. Afterwards, the user should run chkey, to synch his
login and network passwds:
%% chkey
Q: Why do I get the following error on login:
"/usr/bin/passwd: <user> does not exist"
"Connection closed by foreign host."
A1: This can be the result of selecting "cleared until first login" in
admintool, when you initially create a user. You should instead select
a normal password for a user when you create his account.
A2: If you are trying to use password aging, you must install the
password agin point patch, as noted in Section 5.0.
Q: Why can't I log in via xdm?
A: This is a known bug. Sections 5.3 and 5.4 list the patches for this
problem.
