Matej Mužila 2016-01-21 10:16:53 UTC Doc Text Cause: rpc.yppasswdd doesn't check whether it can write to passwd.adjunct or shadow file.

Consequence:
rpc.yppasswd returns success even if the operation was not successful.

Fix:
Added test to check whether the write operation was successful. If the operation was unsuccessful a message is logged.

Result:
rpc.yppasswdd doesn't return success if the operation was unsuccessful due to unablility to write to /etc/passwd.adjunct or /etc/shadow.

Prior to this update, when the yppasswd service failed to change the password of a yppasswdd user, it still reported a success. A test has been added to yppasswdd that verifies whether the write operation was successful. As a result, if yppasswdd fails to change a user password, an error message is now logged about it.
