I am sure that someone will correct me quickly if I am wrong, but if
memory serves me correctly, one uses yppasswd and the src directories
for controlloing the maps and users.  So far as I can remember
/etc/passwd only gets in the way not helps.  You need to deal with this
in how your maps are set up for your doamin.
