################Problem:          
I cannot change any passwords from the command line: 
microburst% yppasswd
yppasswd:  Changing password for nessgr
Enter login(NIS) password: 
New password:
Re-enter new password:
yppasswd: couldn't create client
        - or -
microburst% passwd -r nis nessgr
Enter login(NIS) password: 
New password:
Re-enter new password:
passwd: couldn't create client
        Therefor# I must change the users password for then using
admintool. 
Any ideas??
#################Solution:
rpc.yppasswd was not running on my server, it can be restarted from
command line, but usually its best to reboot if at all possible.
