What kind of solutions are available in clustered HP/UX for password changing?
We don't want to use NIS.
I think it should be unix-level script, not a program which runs in users PC.
Problem seems to be that you can't put password into script.
It's too complicate for normal user to change password, if cluster has several nodes!!!

The easiest way to do is to have your users change the password on the application servers and the push the critical config files (/etc/passwd etc) to the DB server using the standard rdist tool. This can be easily achieved in a UNIX shell script and you might consider it configuring that script as a service into your MC/SG cluster.

Why don't you want to run NIS?

We have several HA sites using NIS successfully. NIS is not too bad. Now NIS+ is another story (run away -- run away)

Are you talking about NIS on HP-UX 11.00 or 10.20?
I just tried to use three application servers and a database server, sharing users via NIS, on HP-UX 11.00.

This wasn't working at all. To have more information have a look at baan case 696255.

After a more deep analysis BaaN provided a new porting set, see the new 'Special Note' added to solution 3671.
