PASSWD.ADJUNCT(5)	      File Formats Manual	     PASSWD.ADJUNCT(5)

NAME
       passwd.adjunct -	user security data file

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/security/passwd.adjunct

DESCRIPTION
       The  passwd.adjunct  file  contains  the	following information for each
       user:

	      name:password:min-label:max-label:default-label:always-audit-
	      flags:never-audit-flags:

       name		   The user's login name in the	system and it must  be
			   unique.

       password		   The encrypted password.

       min-label	   The lowest security level at	which this user	is al-
			   lowed to login (not used at C2 level).

       max-label	   The	highest	 security  level at which this user is
			   allowed to login (not used at C2 level).

       default-label	   The security	level at which this user will run  un-
			   less	a label	is specified at	login.

       always-audit-flags  Flags  specifying  events  always to	be audited for
			   this	user's processes; see audit_control(5).

       never-audit-flags   Flags specifying events never  to  be  audited  for
			   this	user's processes; see audit_control(5).

       Field  are  separated by	a colon, and each user from the	next by	a NEW-
       LINE.

       The passwd.adjunct file can also	have line beginning with a  `+'	 (plus
       sign),  which means to incorporate entries from the Network Information
       Service (NIS).  There are three styles of `+' entries: all  by  itself,
       `+'  means to insert the	entire contents	of the NIS passwd.adjunct file
       at that point; +name means to insert the	entry (if any) for  name  from
       the  NIS	 service at that point;	+@name means to	insert the entries for
       all members of the network group	name at	that point.  If	 a  `+'	 entry
       has  a non-null password, it will override what is contained in the NIS
       service.

EXAMPLE
       Here is a sample	/etc/security/passwd.adjunct file:

	      root:q.mJzTnu8icF.::::::
	      ignatz:7KsI8CFRPNVXg::b,ap,bp,gp,dp,ic,r,d,l::+dc,+da:-dr:
	      rex:7HU8UUGRPNVXg:b,ap:b,ap,bp:b,bp::+ad:
	      +fred:9x.FFUw6xcJBa::::::
	      +:

       The user	root is	the super-user,	who has	no special  label  constraints
       nor audit interest.  The	user ignatz may	have any label from the	lowest
       to  the	level  b and any of a large number of categories.  ignatz will
       run at system low unless	he specifies otherwise.	 He is	being  audited
       on  the	system default event classes as	well as	data creations and ac-
       cess changes, but never for failed data reads.  The user	rex can	 func-
       tion  only  at  the level b and only in the categories ap or ap and bp.
       By default, he will run at `b,bp'.  He is audited with the  system  de-
       faults,	except	that  successful administrative	operations are not au-
       dited.  The user	fred will have the labels and  audit  flags  that  are
       specified in the	NIS passwd.adjunct file.  Any other users specified in
       the NIS service will be able to log in on this system.

       The  user  security  data  file resides in the /etc/security directory.
       Because it contains encrypted passwords,	it does	not have general  read
       permission.

NOTES
       The Network Information Service (NIS) was formerly known	as Sun	Yellow
       Pages  (YP).   The  functionality of the	two remains the	same; only the
       name has	changed.
