NAME
       yppasswd - update user password in Network Information Service

PROTOCOL
       /usr/include/rpcsvc/yppasswd.x

DESCRIPTION
       The yppasswd protocol is used to change a user's password entry in
       the NIS password database.

       Programs that use this protocol must be loaded using the flag -l
       rpcsvc.

PROGRAMMING
       #include <rpcsvc/yppasswd.h>
       yppasswd(oldpass, newpw)
            char *oldpass
            struct passwd *newpw;

       If oldpass is indeed the old user password, this routine replaces the
       password entry with newpw.  It returns 0 if successful.

SEE ALSO
       yppasswd(1), yppasswdd(1M).
