Another NIS mystery. We assume shadow passwds are more secure
because the shadow file containing them is not world readable.
However, it seems if this is an NIS system all one needs to do
is execute: ypcat passwd > capturepw
and the file capturepw will contain  a complete passwd file with
passwds included. Any comments?
