Ok, so the 'make' was not run.

No, not at all. You just ypserv on the master, unless you want a slave
server for savety and/or load balancing. rpc.yppasswdd only on the master.
rpc.yppasswdd is supposed to run 'make' in /var/yp after updating the passwd.
Could you create an empty '/var/yp/yppasswdd.log' and restart rpc.yppasswdd;
then change a passwd from a client ? This should leave usefull infos in
/var/yp/yppasswdd.log.
