HP-UX Reference (11i v1 05/09) - 1 User Commands N-Z (vol 2)

nispasswd(1) nispasswd(1)
AUTHOR
nispasswd was developed by Sun Microsystems, Inc.
SEE ALSO
keylogin(1), login(1), nis+(1), nistbladm(1), passwd(1), domainname(1), getpwent(3C), nsswitch.conf(4),
passwd(4).
NOTES
The login program, file access display programs (for example, ’
ls -l’) and network programs that require
user passwords (for example, rlogin(1), ftp(1), etc.) use the standard getpwent(3C) interface to get password
information. These programs will get the NIS+ password information, which is modified by
nispasswd,
only if the
passwd: entry in the /etc/nsswitch.conf
file includes nisplus. See nsswitch.conf(4)
for more details.
