Add NIS-only headaches

[Alexander Stavitsky <stalex@scisun.sci.ccny.cuny.edu>]

As adduser, useradd are still not quite compatible with NIS, it is a major
headache to add a NIS-only users(with alternate "passwd" map).

Is there some workaround that I don't know about?
It really is painfull to add NIS users by hand and change their passwords.
Yppasswd wouldn't change password without asking(and checking) the old
password even if you are root!
