    no -N option anymore. Here is another variation: (After making the
    change to pam_unix and nis) If, as root, I want to change a user's
    password:

    root> passwd beth
    Changing password for user beth
    New UNIX password:
    Retype new UNIX password:
    RPC: Can't encode arguments
    The password has not been changed on gandalf.pns.anl.gov.
    passwd: Failed preliminary check by password service

    but using yppasswd will work.
