I checked the link that Philip gave and the patch at the beginning
worked for 14.04 when I recompiled the nis package from source. My users
can finally change their passwords! The patch is
--- nis-3.17.orig/yp-tools-2.9/src/yppasswd.c 2013-09-03 12:08:35.000000000
-0400

Can this be added to the Trusty release?
