NAME
     yppasswd - update user password in Network Information Ser-
     vice database

PROTOCOL
     /usr/include/rpcsvc/yppasswd.x

DESCRIPTION
     The yppasswd protocol is used to change a user's password
     entry in the Network Information Service (NIS) password
     database.

PROGRAMMING
     For -systype sysv and -systype bsd43:

     #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.
