>Description:

When using yppasswd, rpc.yppasswdd can't deal with comments
in the $(YPDIR)/master.passwd file. Instead it logs to syslog:

rpc.yppasswdd[2623]: /var/yp/src/master.passwd: corrupted entry
rpc.yppasswdd[2623]: /var/yp/src/master.passwd: unchanged
rpc.yppasswdd[2623]: /var/yp/src/master.passwd: unchanged
rpc.yppasswdd[2623]: failed to created updated password file -- cleaning up and bailing out


>How-To-Repeat:

Enter a comment in $(YPDIR)/master.passwd. Run yppasswd to
produce the error.
