you need to use \s to reflect a space - the password chat will not
recognize which part of the "passwd chat" line is output and which is
input otherwise!
so the line should read:
passwd chat = New\spassword: %n\n \nRe-enter\snew\spassword: %n\n \nNIS\spasswd/attributes\schanged\son\shermes\n
to have it more readable you can also use stars (but you know that they
do more than \s and \n):
passwd chat = *New*password: %n\n *Re-enter*new*password: %n\n *NIS*passwd/attributes*changed*on*
Sehr Wus,
