In this example, there are specific entries for users root and joe, in
case the Network Information System are out of order.
+ User john's password entry in the Network Information System
is incorporated without change.
+ Any subsequent entries for user bob are ignored.
+ The password field for anyone in the netgroup documentation
is disabled.
+ Users in netgroup marketing are not returned by getpwent(3C)
and thus are not allowed to log in.
+ Anyone else can log in with their usual password, shell, and
home directory, but with a pw_gecos field of Guest.
NFS Warnings
The plus (+) and minus (-) features are NFS functionality; therefore,
if NFS is not installed, they do not work. Also, these features work
only with /etc/passwd, but not with a system that has been converted
to a trusted system. When the system has been converted to a trusted
system, the encrypted passwords can be accessed only from the
protected password database, /tcb/files/auth/*/*. Any user entry in
the Network Information System database also must have an entry in the
protected password database.
The uid of -2 is reserved for remote root access by means of NFS. The
pw_name usually given to this uid is nobody. Since uids are stored as
signed values, the following define is included in <pwd.h> to match
the user nobody.
UID_NOBODY (-2)
FILES
/tcb/files/auth/*/* Protected password database used when
system is converted to trusted system.
/etc/passwd Standard password file used by HP-UX.
