NIS functions well except for yppasswd. When a user tries to change password using yppasswd on a client, if s/he enters the wrong Old Password, then the rpc.yppasswdd daemon on the NIS server segfaults. Searching online, I see that a similar bug was reported for Trusty, but it also seems to have been fixed in Xenial. Is the bug still around in a different form, or do I seem to be doing something wrong?

Messge from /var/log/syslog:

[125555.251005] rpc.yppasswdd[17581]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f2514294e16 sp 00007fff331e3a58 error 4 in libc-2.23.so[7f2514147000+1c0000]

This bug was fixed in 16.04 (xenial) in the package nis - 3.17-34ubuntu3 The bug appears to still exist in Trusty.

Of course as a workaround you could simply enter the correct password.
