Comment 6 for bug 499425

Great, thanks for forwarding it. Can you link to the upstream bug so this bug will track it?

As to the "Wishlist", glibc nis support has always been broken, and having access to encrypted passwords has been a known problem for a long time. It seems that the passwd.adjunct.byname way of doing things is new, and as such, a feature request, really. (i.e. no new hole, regression, etc.) This shouldn't be seen as lack of interest or anything -- this is a great way for NIS to be more secure finally. :)
