FreeBSD deimos.frii.com 2.1.0-RELEASE

We recently had to rip out YP, kicking and screaming, after it
detonated on our master server.  Since then we've been picking up the
pieces.  One of the pieces is chpass.

I went to build chpass without the -DYP flag, and it *failed*.  I'm
surprised nobody has found this before, but here's the relevant diff:

104c104
<           "#Changing user database information for %s.\n", pw->pw_name);
---
>           "#Changing user database information for %s.\n", pw->pw_name)

Yes, a missing semicolon.
