Description Dan Nelson 2003-05-23 05:40:11 UTC 
rpc.yppasswd always calls yp_mkdb on master.passwd, which really should
only be done if you are exporting /etc/master.passwd.

Fix: Only call pw_mkdb if passfile == _PATH_MASTERPASSWD.  Otherwise, rename
master.passwd to a temp filename, rename the new passwd to
master.passwd, and let yppwupdate update passwd as it sees fit.

This also fixes PR bin/7968.
How-To-Repeat: 	

Set up an NIS server, and run passwd on a client.  If it succeeds,
you'll see that passwd.db and spwd.db get created in /yar/yp.  It also
ends up zeroing out the passwd field in the passwd map, which is not a
good idea if you're serving non-FreeBSD clients.

Committed to CURRENT. I guess we will need a patch 
for STABLE too, right ?
