If the user needs to change his password this is normally done with a program called .Nm yppasswd . This program doesn't exist in OpenBSD but is integrated into .Xr passwd 1 . .Nm passwd will automatically determine which password database should be modified. To force a change of a YP password when a local one also exists, use .Nm passwd -y . .Pp Other user information can be changed with .Xr chpass 1 . .Pp If the file .Nm /var/yp/yppasswdd.log exists then messages will be written to the file. .Pp The options are as follows: .Bl -tag -width indent .It Fl d Ar directory Use the specified directory to get at the password-related files instead of /etc. .It Fl noshell Don't allow changes of the shell field in the passwd file. .It Fl nogecos Don't allow changes of the gecos field in the passwd file. .It Fl nopw Don't allow changes of the password in the passwd file. .It Fl m Ar arg1 arg2 ... Don't use .Ar /var/yp/securenet . Use another file with another file format.
