Yes, that is the train of thought here..
Markus, by using master.passwd db everything would at
least appear centralized:)
Then add a special class which if the user belongs to gets
te special treatment? (maybe not too complicated..)
Since master.passwd has 10 fields and that is intentional here is a
thought. Maybe using a special pointer like '+' is used for yp in
master.passwd.
Then have it point to the password/homekey pairing. otherwise
nothing special this way occurs.
Another thought, add another ':' separated field into master.passwd.
This with the cur key on a per $USER $HOME basis. If it is unpopulated
of does not exist then ignore it for that $USER?
