It is possible to define a minimum time to gain change the password and similar things. Seems this has been done on this server? cu, Florian La Roche
No, but I found that the problem is when using "kuser" to create an account. I now use "linuxconf" and it is OK.
If you create the account with kuser you can't change the password with yppasswd, but you can if you create the account with linuxconf? Can you change the password using just "passwd"?
I was not able to reproduce this in the latest versions of yp + kuser, and this seems to have been more of a kuser bug. Closing.
