>Environment:

2.0.5-ALPHA, also 2.0.5-RELEASE, no YP configured.

>Description:

When I try to change the passwd for an nonexistant user, I get:

ivanhoe:/root# passwd foobar
yppasswd: can't find the master ypserver: Request arguments bad

With 2.0-RELEASE I get the correct message:

sogand:/root# passwd foobar
passwd: unknown user foobar

>How-To-Repeat:

passwd foobar

>Fix:

Setup an YP server? ;)
