This is a ported/modified version of yppasswd from the NYS yppasswd-0.5
package. This package has code in it from both Olaf Kirch and Theo
de Raadt. There are GPL references and BSD-style copyright all over the
place... hopefully I won't get flamed into oblivion for commiting this.

This program has been modified from the original in the following ways:

- Changed the ALLOW_CHFN and ALLOW_CHSH compile-time options into
  run-time options.

- Demolished the password update functions and replaced them with
  routines to handle FreeBSD-style passwordd databases. It is expected
  that a seperate master.passwd file will be maintained for use with
  the NIS maps. yppasswd will have to be told where it is:

  % yppasswdd -m /var/yp/master.passwd

  A /var/yp/passwd file will be generated from /var/yp/master.passwd by
  /var/yp/Makefile. When yppasswdd has finished modifying the master.passwd
  file, it will invoke /usr/libexec/yppwupdate, which is a script that
  will run /var/yp/Makefile to generate new maps and push them.

Note that there are copies if pw_util.c and pw_copy.c here. This is
deliberate: they are *not* identical to the originals. Very similar, yes,
but not identical. *sigh*
