Patch Installation Instructions:

NOTE:	  Regardless of whether you are running C2 or not
	  on the NIS master server, you can install the new
	  rpc.yppasswdd using the steps below.

Note that dynamically linked binaries are incompatible with the
use of the US Encryption Kit.  If you will be using the US
Encryption Kit, load the static version (rpc.yppasswdd.static)
of the provided binary file.

	As root:
	# mv /usr/etc/rpc.yppasswdd /usr/etc/rpc.yppasswdd.FCS

	Install the new version of "rpc.yppasswdd":
	# cp rpc.yppasswdd /usr/etc/rpc.yppasswdd
	# chown root.staff /usr/etc/rpc.yppasswdd
	# chmod 755 /usr/etc/rpc.yppasswdd

	Make /etc/security directory to store locks
	# mkdir /etc/security

	Then, either restart "rpc.yppasswdd" daemon (with
	all the required options) manually or simply reboot
	the system.
