NIS server is a Sparc/Solaris machine that runs NIS+ in NIS compatible mode. I want to get rid of the Sparc and since there are no more NIS clients, i want to use local passwd for login. How can i transfer the passwd data (including crypted passwords) from the NIS server to the local passwd database? I am able to extract the data from NIS, but how do i write it to local? I really do not want to require all our users to set their passwords again.
