I didn't see anything along these lines the the archive, so
here goes... (something different to the other threads running
these days.)

In 3.3.1 and 4.0-current, if one puts the following in /etc/passwd
to enable NIS logins:

        +:*:::::

then logins (console or ssh) of ordinary users don't work. After
gdb-ing ssh, I found that getpwnam() consistently returns "*" as
the user's password.

Removing the "*" makes things work again, but the security check
wails about a user w/o a password.

Question: Was this intentional behavior or should I submit a pr with
a patch?
