Nis does not need to be PAM-aware - the local passwd command is. In fact technically just 'passwd' should be enough... (as long as the 'nis' argmuent is passed to pam_unix. This also makes things uniform - all users just use the passwd command, whether they are nis users or not. As for yppasswdd , dunno. It doesn't use PAM AFAIK the three pam lines you should have will be something like (simplified!) Password strengths are checked *before* the NIS service and the whole 'password' group exits if the pass is not good enough.
