    Hi folks,
    I've hunted high and low for some decent documentation on how
    to implement the passwd.adjunct file on NIS, but there is a lot of
    conflicting info around.

    We curently haveSol 8 NIS master and two Sol 8 NIS slaves.
    In our map directory on tha master we have a passwd and a shadow file.

    I would like to set up the security/passwd.adjunct map to hide the
    encrypted
    passwords visible through ypcat.
    Can someone explain the steps involved inculding which daemons need
    to be restarted for changes to take effect.

    Many thanks.
