Since SUNs come with a yppasswd program which is also suid'ed (and is
bit for bit identical to passwd -- chfn, chsh, ypchfn, ypchsh are all
links to passwd, but yppasswd is a separate copy.), it needs to be
updated also (seems to not have the -F switch, but do
        ln -s /bin/yppasswd /tmp/passwd
        /tmp/passwd -F
and you are back where you started from.)
