Hi folks!

I've successfully setup the YP's on 10 FreeBSD-1.1-GAMMA machines.
The server is a SunSparc IPX.
Only one problem left:
passwd -y dumpes core if I use it as root and as normal user I get

Changing YP password for speedy.
Old password:			/* correctly typed */
passwd: Permission denied
passwd: /etc/master.passwd unchanged

Can anybody help ?
- Peter
