yppasswd and dxaccounts question

Good Morning:

We have installed NIS on four of our Tru64 (V4.0D) Alphas. Yesterday
afternoon, I used dxaccounts to modify a user account password, the
modification took effect on all 4 systems rightaway. However, if I use
yppasswd, the change won't take effect until later. This morning, I ran
dxaccounts again to modify a password, 10 minutes later, the new password
is still not working...

What is the proper method to change password and let it takes effect
immediately in a NIS environment? Should I use yppush after yppasswd?

Thanks in advance and have a nice weekend.

O/S: Tru64 V4.0D
