[comp.sys.dec] metamorphosizing passwd file

changj@cs.rpi.edu (John Chang) (03/29/91)

Hi.  We have several decstation 3100 running ultrix 4.1.  These are set up to
run yp, so the passwd file has a few entries with "+" at the end.  In the past
few days, random decstations have been losing their "+" at the end of the
passwd file, making it unable for people to log in.  "last" shows there was
no one logged in at the time the passwd file was supposedly last modified, and
there is nothing in cron that may be responsible.  Does anyone know what can
be causing this?  Has anyone had a similar experience?  Thanks.
