Has anybody else noticed that 'root' can't change someone's NIS password
using the 2.1.0-RELEASE yp stuff? Even if you edit /var/yp/master.passwd,
delete their old password, 'make', and try 'passwd <user>' it still asks
for the old password. Have I done something wrong, or is this a legitimate
bug? Browsing the source code, it looks like what's supposed to happen is
1) 'passwd <user>'
2) retrieve <users> info
3) if <users>.password is blank & current.user=='root' then goto #5
4) ask for old password
5) ask for new password
6) re-ask for new password
7) if current.user=='root' || (old.password==<user>.password then change
password.
But it's not working that way.
