I've modified the scan_password script ($Header: scan_passwd,v 3.0 89/10/18 15:15:43
 lwall Locked $) that came with Perl to scan the Yellow Pages passwords, by changing
the open statement to:

open(Pass,"ypcat passwd|") || die "Can't open passwd file: $!\n";

When I run it, the open fails. When I run it under the Perl debugger, it works!
It feels like a timeout problem to me. Any suggestions?
