wpaul 95/01/31 01:12:53 Added: gnu/usr.sbin/yppasswdd Makefile pw_copy.c pw_util.c update.c yppasswd.h yppasswd_xdr.c yppasswdd.8 yppasswdd.c Log: Obtained from: The NYS project This is a ported/modified version of yppasswd from the NYS yppasswd-0.5 package. This package has code in it from both Olaf Kirch and Theo de Raadt. There are GPL references and BSD-style copyright all over the place... hopefully I won't get flamed into oblivion for commiting this. This program has been modified from the original in the following ways: - Changed the ALLOW_CHFN and ALLOW_CHSH compile-time options into run-time options. - Demolished the password update functions and replaced them with routines to handle FreeBSD-style passwordd databases. It is expected that a seperate master.passwd file will be maintained for use with the NIS maps. yppasswd will have to be told where it is: % yppasswdd -m /var/yp/master.passwd A /var/yp/passwd file will be generated from /var/yp/master.passwd by /var/yp/Makefile. When yppasswdd has finished modifying the master.passwd file, it will invoke /usr/libexec/yppwupdate, which is a script that will run /var/yp/Makefile to generate new maps and push them. Note that there are copies if pw_util.c and pw_copy.c here. This is deliberate: they are *not* identical to the originals. Very similar, yes, but not identical. *sigh*
