NAME
       yppasswdd - server for modifying yellow pages password file

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/etc/rpc.yppasswdd file [ -m arg1 arg2 ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       yppasswdd  is  a	 server	 that  handles	password  change requests from
       yppasswd(1).  It changes a password entry in file, which is assumed  to
       be  in  the format of passwd(5).	 An entry in file will only be changed
       if the password presented by yppasswd(1) matches the encrypted password
       of that entry.

       If  the -m option is given, then after file is modified, a make(1) will
       be performed in /usr/etc/yp.  Any arguments following the flag will  be
       passed to make.

       This  server  is	 not  run  by  default,	 nor can it be started up from
       inetd(8).  If it is desired to enable remote password updating for  the
       yellow  pages, then an entry for yppasswdd should be put in the /etc/rc
       file of the host serving as the master  for  the	 yellow	 pages	passwd
       file.

EXAMPLE
       If  the yellow pages password file is stored as /usr/etc/yp/src/passwd,
       then to have password changes propagated immediately, the server should
       be invoked as
	      /usr/etc/rpc.yppasswdd	/usr/etc/yp/src/passwd	  -m	passwd
	      DIR=/usr/etc/yp/src
       In this case, "src" is the YP domain name.

FILES
       /usr/etc/yp/Makefile
