Users cannot change NIS passwd

Hello,

Users on a DEC Unix 4.0d cannot change their passwd using
yppasswd. The system prompts for the old passwd, then asks
for a new one - and a verification, but they always get
passwd mismatch - passwd unchanged?

Has anyone experienced this - any solutions?

I am running base security.

Thanks
Neil
