-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.sp
-.LP
-\fBrpc.yppasswdd\fR is a server that handles password change requests from
-\fByppasswd\fR(1). It changes a password entry in the \fBpasswd\fR,
-\fBshadow\fR, and \fBsecurity/passwd.adjunct\fR files. The \fBpasswd\fR and
-\fBshadow\fR files provide the basis for the \fBpasswd.byname\fR and
-\fBpasswd.byuid\fR maps. The \fBpasswd.adjunct\fR file provides the basis for
-the \fBpasswd.adjunct.byname\fR and \fBpasswd.adjunct.byuid\fR maps. Entries in
-the \fBpasswd\fR, \fBshadow\fR or \fBpasswd.adjunct\fR files are changed only
-if the password presented by \fByppasswd\fR(1) matches the encrypted password
-of the entry. All password files are located in the \fBPWDIR\fR directory.
-.sp
-.LP
-If the \fB-D\fR option is given, the \fBpasswd\fR, \fBshadow,\fR or
-\fBpasswd.adjunct\fR files are placed under the directory path that is the
-argument to \fB-D\fR.
-.sp
-.LP
-If the \fB-noshell\fR, \fB-nogecos\fR or \fB-nopw\fR options are given, these
-fields cannot be changed remotely using \fBchfn\fR, \fBchsh\fR, or
-\fBpasswd\fR(1).
-.sp
-.LP
-If the \fB-m\fR option is given, a \fBmake\fR(1S) is performed in \fB/var/yp\fR
-after any of the \fBpasswd\fR, \fBshadow\fR, or \fBpasswd.adjunct\fR files are
-modified. All arguments following the flag are passed to \fBmake\fR.
-.sp
-.LP
-The second of the listed syntaxes is provided only for backward compatibility.
-If the second syntax is used, the \fBpasswordfile\fR is the full pathname of
-the password file and \fBadjunctfile\fR is the full pathname of the optional
-\fBpasswd.adjunct\fR file. If a shadow file is found in the same directory as
-\fBpasswordfile\fR, the \fBshadowfile\fR is used as described above. Use of
-this syntax and the discovery of a \fBshadowfile\fR file generates diagnostic
-output. The daemon, however, starts normally.
-.sp
-.LP
-The first and second syntaxes are mutually exclusive. You cannot specify the
-full pathname of the \fBpasswd\fR, \fBpasswd.adjunct\fR files and use the
-\fB-D\fR option at the same time.
-.sp
-.LP
-The daemon is started automatically on the master server of the passwd map by
-\fBypstart\fR(1M), which is invoked at boot time by the
-\fBsvcs:/network/nis/server:default\fR service.
-.sp
-.LP
-The server does not insist on the presence of a \fBshadow\fR file unless there
-is no \fB-D\fR option present or the directory named with the \fB-D\fR option
-is \fB/etc\fR. In addition, a \fBpasswd.adjunct\fR file is not necessary. If
-the \fB-D\fR option is given, the server attempts to find a
-\fBpasswd.adjunct\fR file in the \fBsecurity\fR subdirectory of the named
-directory. For example, in the presence of \fB-D\fR \fB/var/yp\fR the server
-checks for a \fB/var/yp/security/passwd.adjunct\fR file.
-.sp
-.LP
-If only a \fBpasswd\fR file exists, then the encrypted password is expected in
-the second field. If both a \fBpasswd\fR and a \fBpasswd.adjunct\fR file exist,
-the encrypted password is expected in the second field of the adjunct file with
-\fI##username\fR in the second field of the \fBpasswd\fR file. If all three
-files are in use, the encrypted password is expected in the \fBshadow\fR file.
-Any deviation causes a password update to fail.
-.sp
-.LP
-If you remove or add a \fBshadow\fR or \fBpasswd.adjunct\fR file after
-\fBrpc.yppasswdd\fR has started, you must stop and restart the daemon to enable
-it to recognize the change. See \fBypstart\fR(1m) for information on restarting
-the daemon.
-.sp
-.LP
-The \fBrpc.yppasswdd\fR daemon considers a shell that has a name that begins
-with 'r' to be a restricted shell. By default, the daemon does not check
-whether a shell begins with an '\fBr\fR'. However, you can tell it to do so by
-uncommenting the \fBcheck_restricted_shell_name=1\fR line in
-\fB/etc/default/yppasswdd\fR. The result will be to restrict a user's ability
-to change from his default shell. See \fByppasswdd\fR(4).
-.sp
-.LP
-On start up, \fByppasswdd\fR checks for the existence of a NIS to LDAP (N2L)
-configuration file, \fB/var/yp/NISLDAPmapping\fR. If the configuration file is
-present, the daemon runs in N2L mode. If the file is not present,
-\fByppasswdd\fR runs in traditional, non-N2L mode.
-.sp
-.LP
-In N2L mode, changes are written directly to the Directory Information Tree
-(DIT). If the changes are written successfully, the NIS map is updated. The NIS
-source files, \fBpasswd\fR, \fBshadow\fR, and \fBpasswd.adjunct\fR, for
-example, are not updated. Thus, in N2L mode, the \fB-D\fR option is
-meaningless. In N2L mode, \fByppasswdd\fR propagates changes by calling
-\fByppush\fR(1M) instead of \fBypmake\fR(1M). The \fB-m\fR option is thus
-unused.
-.sp
-.LP
-During an NIS-to-LDAP transition, the \fByppasswdd\fR daemon uses the
-N2L-specific map, \fBageing.byname\fR, to read and write password aging
-information to the DIT. If you are not using password aging, then the
-\fBageing.byname\fR mapping is ignored.

-.SH NOTES
-.sp
-.LP
-If \fBmake\fR has not been installed and the \fB-m\fR option is given, the
-daemon outputs a warning and proceeds, effectively ignoring the \fB-m\fR flag.
-.sp
-.LP
-When using the \fB-D\fR option, you should make sure that the \fBPWDIR\fR of
-the \fB/var/yp/Makefile\fR is set accordingly.
-.sp
-.LP
-The second listed syntax is supplied only for backward compatibility and might
-be removed in a future release of this daemon.
-.sp
-.LP
-The Network Information Service (\fBNIS\fR) was formerly known as Sun Yellow
-Pages (\fBYP\fR). The functionality of the two remains the same; only the name
-has changed. The name Yellow Pages is a registered trademark in the United
-Kingdom of British Telecommunications PLC, and cannot be used without
-permission.
-.sp
-.LP
-The NIS server service is managed by the service management facility,
-\fBsmf\fR(5), under the service identifier:

-.in +2

-svcs:/network/nis/server:default
-.fi
-.in -2

-Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or
-requesting restart, can be performed using \fBsvcadm\fR(1M). The service's
-status can be queried using the \fBsvcs\fR(1) command.
