* The following pseudo-users must be added to /etc/passwd and *
* /etc/security/passwd.adjunct before changing any binaries *
* This is so the auditing of the rpc.pwdauthd and rpc.yppasswd can occur *
* These additions do not need to be done on NIS client machines since
* they will pick these changes up from the NIS master.

* /etc/passwd additions: *
AUpwdauthd:##AUpwdauthd:10:10:::/bin/false
AUyppasswdd:##AUyppasswdd:11:10:::/bin/false *
