I am trying to install npasswd, in a NIS environment.  When building,
I do "make yp_passwd" to build the version which communicates with
yppasswdd on the server.  However, when I run it, I get the following
error when it tries to contact the server to execute the change:

   Jan 10 11:29:18 flob passwd[17991]: Password change failed (mach.dom): RPC: Server can't decode arguments

Does anyone have the solution to this?  Thanks in advance.
