Yikes...

Doing a chpass on a nis master server:
[..]
Shell: /usr/local/bin/bash
[..]

Changing NIS information for ophidian on localhost
chpass: NIS update failed: rpc.yppasswdd returned error status
chpass: NIS information unchanged


Nov 15 21:56:22 newton rpc.yppasswdd[21814]: received update request from 
superuser on localhost
Nov 15 21:56:22 newton rpc.yppasswdd[21814]: string contains a control 
character
Nov 15 21:56:22 newton rpc.yppasswdd[21814]: specified shell contains 
invalid characters: /usr/local/bin/bash   @^F^H^A
Nov 15 21:56:22 newton rpc.yppasswdd[21814]: rejecting update attempt for 
ophidian: bad arguments

(I added the string logging)

We've also had hangs with:
Nov 15 21:55:23 newton rpc.yppasswdd[21663]: accept failed: Bad address

I've just rebuilt libc, and all yp/nis related binaries "in case", no 
apparent fix.  The machine had a 'make world' last night to bring it up 
from about a month-old -current to 2.2-just-before-release.

FreeBSD newton.dialix.com.au 2.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 2.2-CURRENT #35: Fri Nov 
15 04:17:40 WST 1996     peter@newton.dialix.com.au:/home/src/sys/compile/N
EWTON  i386

This is with yplib.c rev 1.25 in place on the 2.2 branch..

Has anybody else seen this?
