So far, only one major bug here, which exists in yppasswd. if your passwd
file looks like this:

  .   .   .
  .   .   .
  .   .   .
van:dgd;lkW%%dk:15:7:...
  .   .   . 
  .   .   .
va:Ddkerl$#%$5n:25:10:...
  .   .   .
  .   .   .
  .   .   .

When va tries to change his passwd, it will try to change the passwd for
van. (luckily, this fails)

good luck!!
