Has anyone else written a replacement Password changing module for
Preferences (for NeXTstep 2.2 and/or 3.0) that changes the user's NIS
password a la yppasswd instead of their NetInfo password?

Right now I'm thinking of making a module (at least 3.0 has the API) that
does nothing but subprocess out to yppasswd since you can't just say
yppasword userid oldpassword newpassword.  [At least, I HOPE you can't.]

	INVENTORY
Four be the things I am wiser to know:
Idleness, sorrow, a friend, and a foe.

Four be the things I'd been better without:
Love, curiosity, freckles, and doubt.

Three be the things I shall never attain:
Envy, content, and sufficient champagne.

Three be the things I shall have till I die:
Laughter and hope and a sock in the eye.
