 I'd have loved to post a patch, but my library debugging skills are not up
 to it. 
 
 FWIW, the best I could come up with is that the getpwnam call in line 201
 of src/usr.bin/passwd/local_passwd.c does not seem to fail, but rather
 returns a passwd struct with empty pw_name and zero pw_uid.
 
 I wasn't able to track down any deeper, except for realizing the problem is
 probably "somewhere in _getyppass".
 
 System is compiled with YP and KERBEROS.
