tiger always reports "no password" with NIS

["Sebastian Haase" <haase@msg.ucsf.edu>]

Hi all! I would like to repost my email from Aug 20th of this year,
because I still don't know would the solution is.
Is it maybe a bug of tiger (that it doesn't know about NIS)
(That's why I'm also cc-ing to the package-maintainer - hope that's OK)
Thanks, Sebastian
