yppasswd - update user password in NIS

---

PROTOCOL

DESCRIPTION

The yppasswd() protocol is used to change a user's password entry in the Network Information Service (NIS) password database.

If oldpass is indeed the old user password, this routine replaces the password entry with newpw. It returns 0 if successful.

PROGRAMMING

#include <rpcsvc/yppasswd.h>
yppasswd(oldpass, newpw)
	char *oldpass
	struct passwd *newpw;

The Network Information Service (NIS) was formerly known as Sun Yellow Pages (YP). The functionality of the two remains the same; only the name has changed.
