I am the manager of a SunOs 4.1.3 system. It has got 5.000 NIS users.
The problem is that the NIS passwd file /var/yp/passwd doesn't admit the
iso_8859_1 (iso LATIN 1). If I use special characters in this file, for
example ñ á é,  it doesn't work. Do you know how can I use these letters
in the passwd file?

Please send me mail: jgomez@aq.upm.es

Thanks.
