yppasswd, root and the old password...

Hi,

I browsed through the mail-list archive, but didn't find
any answers to this. (Only questions...:-)


As you know the DU yppasswd always ask for the old
password even though I am on the Master server when
I run this as root for a user.

I don't like this behaviour. This means, that I can't
make samba sync the passwords.

Is there a replacement or something else that would
make it possible to only set the new passord without
having to tell the old one.

I tried to compile the yp-tools-2.4 mainly developed for
linux, but it doesn't compile:
