This is what you have stated both here & on http://www.linuxquestions.org. OpenBSD 3.6 was released in November 2004. It has been unsupported now for nearly 5 years. In comparison, OpenBSD 4.7 was released in May 2010.

Got this kind of error:
Code:
[mickey  15 ]# passwd muzam
Changing YP password for muzam.
New password:
Retype new password:
Couldn't change YP password.
According to the archives, you likely have the lines:
Code:
	:localcipher=blowfish,6:\
	:ypcipher=old:\
...in /etc/login.conf. This means that Yellow Pages & the local password file aren't using compatible password hashes. Possibly setting them to the same value, either "blowfish,6" or "old", might make a difference according to information unearthed in the misc@ archives.
