When Rabbi Eleazer Landau, the grandson of the Noda beYehudah permitted a man who was on his deathbed to write a get, to avoid agunah problems on 2nd day Yom Tov, the Chasam Sofer opposed his decision on the basis that public acceptance of 2nd day Yom Tov had transformed it into a neder which could not be abrogated. This was all on the background a battle against reformers who were trying to abolish the second day.

Perhaps someone could clarify for me the mechanism of this neder (e.g. how does one generation make a neder for another? Does it have to be articulated as such? ...)
