The "shadow" feature does not preclude use of NIS passwd and group maps.
Only users that have "*" as their password field will get their passwords
from /etc/shadow or /etc/gshadow (file names may vary).
If our NIS package replaces "passwd", etc., with NIS-master-server-aware
versions, that package would have to be updated. I think this is one reason
that people are experimenting with shared libraries for validation.
