Problem with passwd on nis master

[Todd Broucksou]

Need help with NIS install on RedHat 7.2 Cluster.

When a user or the root  uses the passwd command to change the user's 
password on the master nis server, you get an error;

[tbroucks at louie tbroucks]$ passwd
Changing password for tbroucks
(current) UNIX password:
New password:
Retype new password:
RPC: Timed out
The password has not been changed on louie.cnidr.org.
passwd: Failed preliminary check by password service

But it really did change the passwd

Now as root;

[root at louie tbroucks]# passwd tbroucks
Changing password for user tbroucks
New password:
Retype new password:
RPC: Can't encode arguments
The password has not been changed on louie.cnidr.org.
passwd: Failed preliminary check by password service

In this case it did not change the passwd.

I looked through google and found that RH had a errata on what appears to 
be this problem;

pam-0.75-19.i386.rpm
pam-devel-0.75-19.i386.rpm
usermode-1.46-1.i386.rpm

Installed these patches as part of normal build -

FYI: Yppasswd work's fine on the client nodes.
