Hello.
I have noticed that getpwuid() returns "*NP*" in pw_passwd when nscd is
running and encrypted password when nscd is not running. It is
critical for some authentication programs (e.g. pam_unix_auth).
sp_pwdp (returned by getspnam()) contains an encrypted password in both
cases.
Can anyone reproduce this?
