Unix Tip #4532- August 8, 2025
BE CAREFUL WITH NIS+
To rebuild your /etc/passwd file use:
nisaddent -rv -f /etc/passwd passwd
HOWEVER, if you perform the above command
you must perform the following command on
the shadow file:
nisaddent -mv -f /etc/shadow shadow
DO NOT USE the nisaddent -rv -f command on
the /etc/shadow file, this command will confuse
replica servers and lock everyone off of a system.
NOTE: All tips provided are USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Tips are submitted
