 This very problem occurs also on more up-to-date systems, that is:
 
  NIS-Server: Solaris 2.6 /SPARC
  NIS-Client: FreeBSD 4.2 /i386
 
  Changing NIS password for user on NIS-server.
  Old Password:
  New password:
  Retype new password:
  passwd: failed to change NIS password: RPC: Server can't decode arguments
 
 Snoop output on the NIS server:
 
  client -> server  PORTMAP C GETPORT prog=100009 (NISPASSWD) vers=1 proto=UDP
  server -> client  PORTMAP R GETPORT port=819
  client -> server  NISPASSWD C
  server -> client  RPC R (#196) XID=861861090 Garbage arguments
 
 
 It impossible for users to change their passwords. This PR should
 therefore be updated from "Serious" to "Critical"!
