User passwords can not be changed if they are served by NIS with 
-current:

FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #3: Tue Apr 15 11:30:59 CDT 2003     root@node1.cluster.srrc.usda.gov:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CLUSTER-FW 

When trying to change a password I get the following:

Apr 16 12:16:38 node1 passwd: in pam_sm_chauthtok(): yppasswd_remote(): NIS password update failed 

If I place account information into /etc/master.passwd instead of the
NIS master.passwd, then I can successfully change the password.
