Subject: NIS in 1.4.1?

Anyone played around with NIS (the protocol formerly known
as YP- but at least didn't change to some funky unicode symbol)
in 1.4.1?

I've got everything working great, with the exception of 
passwd and/or yppasswd. Either on the server or a client
it fails on getting the Old Password.  The dialogue is such:

$ yppasswd
Changing YP password for joeuser.
Old password:
Sorry.
yppasswd: YP passwd database unchanged

I've tried it as root, and as several users.  If I perform
a passwd -l on the NIS server, then re-make in /var/yp,
the new password works fine on all the clients.

All the services are running on the server:
$ ps -ax | grep yp
  169 ??  Ss     0:00.14 ypserv -d 
  182 ??  Ss     0:00.02 ypbind 
  184 ??  Is     0:00.00 rpc.yppasswdd 

And Clients:
$ ps -ax | grep yp
  170 ??  Ss     0:00.09 ypbind 
  172 ??  Is     0:00.00 rpc.yppasswdd 

And I can log-in fine on any of the clients using NIS
accounts/passwords.

Am I missing something or some service that needs to
be running or is something broken in 1.4.1?   Any
insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
