NIS

Hello Sun admins.

I am transitioning to NIS win soalris and HPux.

The master box is Solaris and my question is Solaris uses the /etc/shadow
for securtiy and places an "*" in the passwd field.

In HP a "*" (astrik) means its a locked file.

What is the solution ?

IS there a way to deavitvate the shadow file in Solaris and use encrytion in
the passwd file in the /etc/passwd file ?

Thanks in advance...
