Yellow pages not sending new passwd to clients

[mary at patience.stanford.edu]

We are using Sun OS 4.0.3 and are having problems with yppasswd.  In using
yppasswd, the change is made to the passwd file on the server but the new
passwd file is not propagated to the clients.  In using yppasswd the final
message implies that all is copesetic when in fact there has been no
change made to the yellow pages.

Please let me know if any of you have had this problem before and how you
have resolved it.
