When creating a new nis user, we add a line of the form: $NEWNAME:x:$NEWUID:1000:$DESC:/home/$NEWNAME:/bin/bash
note the x. Before updating to ubuntu 16, we would then run yppassswd to change the password. We found a work around: in ubuntu 16, if you replace the x with a password, then (restart rpc.yppasswdd after it crashed) the password change works.
