Nisplus problem diskless Suse8.1

Hi Doug!

Now I'll have changed the password and nisplus cred for a test user on the 
nisplusserver. 

"nisaddcred -p unix.<uid>@xxx.xx.xx -P <usernamn>.xxxx.xx.xx -l <password> des"
And the test user can login on the linux workstation but can't do niscat passwd.
And keylogin is the same as before.

Seems like I miss some step of the way(?)

Thanks,
Henrik
