yppasswd - update user password in Network Information Service (NIS)
password map.
SYNOPSIS
#include <rpcsvc/yppasswd.h>
yppasswd(oldpass, newpw)
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 Network
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.
