Convert NIS passwd back to standard /etc/passwd & /etc/shadow

Convert NIS passwd back to standard /etc/passwd & /etc/shadow

Post by Stephen Hauski » Sat, 12 Jun 2004 07:12:29



I have not been able to find any info or a script that will allow
me to convert my current /var/yp/passwd back to the standard /etc/passwd
and /etc/shadow files.

Does anyone know of any tool(s) for doing this?

Thanks in advance.

1. CDE vs. /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group

Hi,
Can anybody tell me what happens to the /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and
/etc/group when DCE is installed?
I've seen images of these files and seems like CDE adds users & groups
with funny names like 'hosts/machine/group' and
'subsys/dce/dts-servers'.

If this is the case, how do the Solaris commands (useradd/mod/del,
passwd, etc.) get along with these weird users/groups?

Thanks,
