I can't even get it to do that, I just get:
yppasswd: yppasswdd not running on NIS master host ("nisserver.domain.net").

Even though things are otherwise working and yppasswdd is running on the server.

I just tried this again and it worked just fine.

Maybe sure firewalls aren't blocking you on either end.  Make sure rpcbind, ypserv, and yppasswdd are running on the server, and rpcbind was started first.  Make sure the user account has a valid password on the server.  Also, looking at your output, it looked like you tried to change it to the same password.  Make sure the new password you're entering is valid.
