About a year ago there was a discussion on a big security hole in SunOs
yppasswd. Since that we have disabled yppasswd and every user has to login
to the master server to change his/her passwd. Now we have 4.0.3 and the
release notes say that 'A security hole in yppasswd has been fixed'
Is there still a good reason not to run yppasswd? (e.g. another known bug?)
Thanks,
