[BBLISA] Can't seem to figure out yppasswd problem --

[Eddy Harvey]

Yup, yppasswdd is running on the server for sure.  (I did rpcinfo to
check for it.)
I believe it is also running on the clients, but I'll doublecheck that.
 
The only thing I can think of so far, that would cause it to fail -- The
shadow and gshadow files are permission 400, but that's the way they've
always been, even in /etc.  I'll try changing to 600 and see if that
does any good, but I don't think it'll change anything.
 
It would be *most* helpful if only I could figure out why the heck
yppasswdd isn't logging to syslog.

If I become root and do 
    yppasswd eharvey
Then I get prompted for root's password, and new passwd for eharvey.
Everything goes fine, except I get
    Error while changing the NIS password.
    The NIS password has not been changed
 
If I become myself (eharvey) and do
    yppasswd
I get prompted exactly as expected, but get the same error message.
 
Any ideas what's going wrong?  I've already checked the days-to-change
fields in shadow, but they all seem fine.  I can't seem to find any
logging that would give me a clue about this too.
 
 
*sigh*....
