[BBLISA] Help with nis password changes

> the inability to update nis passwords.

Oh yeah, this is a tough one.  But common.  I frequently refer to this
reference:
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/linux-adv/nis.htm

In particular, remember to edit /etc/sysconfig/yppasswdd    (Only change the
etc line.  Not the passwd and shadow line.)
And then use "yppasswd" instead of "passwd"

If you're still stuck, I think the system creates log messages somewhere
under /var/log.
