NAME
       yppasswd	 -  Update  user password in Network Information Service (NIS)
       password map.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <rpcsvc/yppasswd.h>

       int yppasswd(
	       char *oldpass,
	       struct passwd *newpw );

DESCRIPTION
       The yppasswd() routine uses Remote Procedure Call  (RPC)	 and  External
       Data Representation (XDR) routines to update a user password in an Net‐
       work Information Service (NIS) password map. The RPC and	 XDR  elements
       that are used are listed below under the RPC INFO heading.

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