>Description:

The yppasswd command supports command the ability to override the local
YP/NIS configuration to permit password changes for non-local NIS
domains.  This is done using arguments that allow you to specify the
domain name and server name on the yppasswd command line.  In -STABLE,
this works properly; in -CURRENT, yppasswd incorrectly requires that
the user exist locally in order to change the remote password.

>How-To-Repeat:

-CURRENT:

paprika# yppasswd -y -d boltsys.com -h artemis.boltsys.com robert
yppasswd: robert: no such user

-STABLE:

pemaquid:~> yppasswd -y -d boltsys.com -h artemis.boltsys.com robert
Changing NIS password for robert on artemis.boltsys.com.
Old Password: 

>Fix:

Sounds like we need special-case handling of the non-local NIS password
changing path in -CURRENT to avoid the local user check.  This should
be keyed on the use of the "-d" argument.
