.SH Name
yppasswdd \- server daemon for modifying the yellow pages (YP) password file
.SH Syntax
.B /usr/etc/rpc.yppasswdd
.I file 
[
.B \-m
.I "arg1 arg2 ..." 
]
.SH Description
.NXR "yppasswdd daemon"
./" .NXAM "passwd file (YP)" "yppasswdd daemon"
.NXR "password file (YP)" "modifying"
The
.PN yppasswdd
daemon is a server that handles password change requests from
.MS yppasswd 1yp .
It changes a password entry in the specified
.I file,
which is assumed to be in the same format described in
.MS passwd 5yp .
An entry in
.I file
will be changed only if the password presented by
.MS yppasswd 1yp
matches the encrypted password of that entry.
.PP
If the
.PN \-m
option is given, then after
.I file
is modified, a
.MS make 1
will be performed in
.PN /var/yp .
Any arguments following the flag will be passed to
.PN make .
The 
.PN \-m
option should be set only at a YP master server machine.
.PP
This server is not run by default, nor can it be started up from
.MS inetd 8c .
If it is desired
to enable remote password updating for the yellow pages,
then an entry for
.PN yppasswdd
should be put in the
.PN /etc/rc.local
file of the host serving as the master for the yellow pages
.PN passwd
file.
.SH Examples
If the yellow pages password file is stored as
.PN /var/yp/src/passwd ,
then to have password changes propagated immediately,
the server should be invoked as:
.EX
/usr/etc/rpc.yppasswdd /var/yp/src/passwd \
-m passwd DIR= /var/yp/src
.EE
