  47 .Nm rpc.yppasswdd
  48 must be running on the YP master server to allow users to change information
  49 in the password file. If the user needs to change his password this is
  50 normally done with a program called
  51 .Nm yppasswd .
  52 This program doesn't exist in OpenBSD but is integrated into
  53 .Xr passwd 1 .
  54 .Nm passwd
  55 will automatically determine which password database should
  56 be modified.
  57 To force a change of a YP password when a local one also exists, use
  58 .Nm passwd -y .
  59 .Pp
  60 Other user information can be changed with
  61 .Xr chpass 1 .
  62 .Pp
  63 If the file
  64 .Nm /var/yp/yppasswdd.log
  65 exists then messages will be written to the file.
  66 .Pp

  68 .Bl -tag -width indent
  69 .It Fl d Ar directory
