The "-r files" tells the passwd command to only look at the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files.
I have not seen this problem myself but something in the back of mine remembers that it is something with Solaris 9. It might be worth taking a look at the /etc/nsswitch.conf file and making sure it is OK.

Hi Lee
I have to set banner for both telnet and ftp . is it possible to do it centralise i mean through NIS server.
I have one NIS server (Sun server) and 200 other servers(Sun Servers).
Actually it is very difficult for me to set banner on all the 200 sun servers
Thanks in Advance
