rpc.yppasswdd takes care of that. From it's man page: (man 8
rpc.yppasswdd)

rpc.yppasswdd is an RPC-based server that accepts incoming password change
requests, authenticates them, places the updated information in the
/var/yp/master.passwd template file and then updates the NIS master.passwd

and passwd maps.
