Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Cause: ipa-nis-manage has an option, -y, to specify the Directory Manager password in a file. This option causes the command to crash if the file does not exist. Consequence: The -y option of ipa-nis-manage does not provide a useful error. Fix: Add an exception handler around the password reader. Result: A proper error message is displayed when the password file does not exist or is unreadable.
