Changing Your Password
Normally, the UNIX command to change one's password is passwd. However, the department UNIX (Sun Solaris) and Linux machines use NIS to centrally store user account information. Therefore, the following commands must be used, instead.
passwd -r nis
yppasswd
If you have any questions about or problems with changing your password, please contact the CFS Staff.
