Subject:   passwd (still) broken in NIS environments

Someone changed passwd/yppasswd such that now (on 4.2-RELEASE, put
presumably also -STABLE) it is broken.

  NIS-Server: Solaris 2.6 /SPARC with current Recommended Patches
  NIS-Client: FreeBSD 4.2 /i386

  Changing NIS password for user on NIS-server.
  Old Password:
  New password:
  Retype new password:
  passwd: failed to change NIS password: RPC: Server can't decode arguments

When trying to debug this on the Solaris box, I got the following output
from snoop:

  client -> server  PORTMAP C GETPORT prog=100009 (NISPASSWD) vers=1 proto=UDP
  server -> client  PORTMAP R GETPORT port=819
  client -> server  NISPASSWD C
  server -> client  RPC R (#196) XID=861861090 Garbage arguments

Any ideas what might have caused this breakage? This worked w/o problems
for the past three or four years (and corresponding FreeBSD releases).

Anyone willing to help me debug this?

Gerald
