The output of 'niscat -o passwd.org_dir' shows what I am using (with
solaris 7 and solaris 2.5.1):
[1] Name : passwd
Attributes : (TEXTUAL DATA)
Access Rights : ----r-----------
With older versions of solaris, you might also need the 'm'
permission for the owner. You should be able to change column
permissions with 'nistbladm'.

1. Q: Propagating /etc/shadow to NIS+ passwd table
Any help with the following problem would be greatly appreciated.
The NIS+ passwd table contains a 'shadow' column for each entry, according
to the documentation I have, but said docs say nothing about propagating
the actual /etc/shadow file into that column. I did use nisaddent to
enter all the other necessary information from /etc/passwd, but the
only way I see to fill the shadow column is by hand-entering the encrypted
passwds or using awk and a script to call nisaddent -m on each entry.
Calling 'nisaddent -m -f /etc/shadow passwd' doesn't work, and produces
'parse errors for every line. "No gcos line."
There must be an easier facility for this task, can someone help me and
point it out? ( 2.3 NIS+ on a SparcClassic )
thanks, and happy holidays,
dave
