Changing NIS password for xxxxxxx on t9.
Old password:
New password:
Retype new password:
RPC: Server can't decode arguments

passwd couldn't change entry (rpc call failed)


This seems to be because the password in question had a CTRL T 
in it.

Can this be exploited?? eg password of |sh or -s?
etc..
