Yes I know; I was trying to get the NetBSD server to serve the shadow
file to a Solaris client.

I finally got it to serve the shadow file -- by reinitializing my
entire YP setup on both the master and slave servers from scratch.

It didn't really help my situation though, because evidently Solaris 7
doesn't use the shadow.byname map.  Either the comments in NetBSD's
makefiles are wrong, or they apply to some other version of Solaris.
Solaris 7 actually seems to want the passwords in the passwd map.

I could hack up the makefiles to splice the shadow passwords back into
the passwd map, but at this point I think I'll just settle for local
/etc/passwd entries on the Solaris machine.

Cheers,
