Has anyone seen this?
>From the superuser account on the NIS master (or clients),
I issue the command yppasswd username
prompts for old password and new password.
I enter a new passwd, thats longer than six characters
and it comes back with "couldn't change passwd".
The only thing I see in the book about this is to
make sure rpc.yppasswdd is running. It is!

Thanks for amy help.
