Abstract : Recently, support have rationalised password security on the
internal network by implementing "nis".
Now, to obtain login information, use the command:
ypcat passwd
or ypcat passwd | more (or your favourite pager)
David Horton has developed a nice little tool for one-off
conversion of a login to the corresponding full name. It is:
/home/horton/bin/fn
Usage: fn loginname (works from feijoa, at least)
e.g.
feijoa> /home/horton/bin/fn jane
