[Bug 1204530] [NEW] yppasswd results in a segmentation fault when run on clients or server

Sample output from a client (output is identical if run on the server):

$ yppasswd
Changing NIS account information for  on .
Please enter old password:
Changing NIS password for  on .
Please enter new password:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$


This setup worked fine with the 12.04 LTS release. I've purged package nis a 
number of times and reinstalled and still get the same behavior. I've also 
removed a slave server from the network and reconfigured nis and still get the 
same behavior.

I thought about listing this as a security vulnerability since the users
cannot change their passwords.
