Thanks to the 1.2 people who responded.
The problem was:
Sparc20/612 Solaris2.4
Relevant patches: kernel 101945-27, admintool 102153-04
Attempting to modify/view a user (NIS+) using the User Account manager
results in an error 'Method program terminates unexpectedly with signal 11'
The answer is: it is a bug:
Bug Id: 1211747
Category: sysadmin
Subcategory: admin_methods
Bug/Rfe: bug
Synopsis: admintool fails with "Method program unexpectedly
terminated with signal 11"
Keywords: admintool,admintool.display,method,user,manager,nis+
Severity: 3
Priority: 4
The solution/work-arounds are:
1. Rebuild your NIS+ namespace from scratch.
or
2. Use the command line tools (nistbladm, nisaddent etc..) to
manipulate the NIS+ tables.
