>Organization:
I. PHysikalisches Institut RWTH Aachen
>Environment:

	3.0-current of June/Juli  NIS/YP server and dito clients

>Description:

        changing the user shell on a NIS client e.g. from tcsh to sh
        doesn't result in an effective chane in the server database.

>How-To-Repeat:

	login into client as normal user.
        tcsh> ypchsh
        the editor comes up with a password file fields.
        change the shell field to sh.
        logout
        login again
        shell did not change

        The logs (/var/yp/ypupdate.log) on the server show that there
        has been activity upon the client request, only there is
        no change.

>Fix:
	
	currently none available

 This PR is really old, and I can't verify that it is fixed on 3.0, but
 I can verify that it works correctly in 4-STABLE.
