This is version 1.0 of nispasswd, a passwd program for changing NIS+
passwords from Linux. It couldn't change the shell or finger information, 
but it shouldn't be a problem to add this.

See the file COPYING for copying restrictions. This package is 
available under the GNU General Public License as published by 
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, 
or (at your option) any later version.

You need a libc 5.x with NYS support for this program. It will not work
with other C libraries. This package requieres DES auth, so you have to
install public/secret keys for your users.

The parameters are:
  -m masterhost: required, tells nispasswd which host is the root
		 NIS+ server. This is necessary, since the functions for
		 this are not implemented in the NYS libc.
  -D domainname: In which NIS+ domain the user is.
