We want to allow our NIS users on the clients to set their yp passwords.
Since /etc/master.passwd is rw------- root wheel and yppasswdd runs
as bin bin it seems to me impossible to change the master password database.

Shouldn't yppasswdd better be run as 4755 root bin ? Or is this
a potential security hole?
