When I run, "yppasswd", to change my user password on a NIS controlled
network, running Solaris (I know this is a Linux list, but also the best
place for answers!), I get the following error

--
$ yppasswd 
yppasswd:  Changing password for joe_soap
Enter login(NIS) password: 
New password: 
Re-enter new password: 
Create clnt failure: RPC: Program not registered
Permission denied
$

... which is annoying. Anyone seen this before?
cheers
