Thanks for the reply... I was grabbing at straws when I tried vt1000.. it's got me stumped...The TERM id and VVTERM were originally set to vt100. When I executd the process, the Security Admin login screen appeared and asked for a password. I entered it and hit <enter> and nothing happened. We tried vt220 with the same results.Th only one that semi-worked was 'xterm'. Set both TERM and VVTERM to xterm and was able to enter password by using the Tab or the PF10 key (also ctl-m appeared to work) but when the confirmation screen poped up I was stumped. the Tab key would toggle beween the Yes and No options but the PF10, ctl-m and esc-0 didn't work!!! even tried the Y and N key with no success)...

yppasswd
yppasswd(1) General Commands Manual yppasswd(1)
NAME
yppasswd - change password in Network Information Service (NIS)
SYNOPSIS
yppasswd [name]
DESCRIPTION
Note
If Enhanced Security is enabled on your system, use the passwd command to change your password, even if NIS is in use.
The yppasswd command lets you change your password in the Network Information Service (NIS) map, a network data base service. Only you or
the superuser can change your NIS password.
When you enter the yppasswd command, the program prompts you for the old password and then for the new password. Note that the passwords
are not displayed on the screen.
Next, the program asks you for the new password again, to verify that you have typed it correctly. If you do not type the passwords cor-
rectly, you will receive an error message after you enter the new password.
Your new NIS password must meet one of the following requirements: It must be a combination of at least six alphanumeric characters, or It
must be a minimum of four characters, with at least one being non-alphanumeric, such as a control sequence.
Note
The passwd command does not change the NIS password. This command only changes the local password file (/etc/passwd), and not the NIS mas-
ter password file.
ERRORS
Your new password does not meet the minimum length requirement. You misspelled your new password or its verification. Your new password
can not be activated. It must be different from your old password and your login name.
FILES
Password file NIS directory
