compat -- nispus

Can someone please explain "compat" entries in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file like;

passwd: compat
passwd_compat: nisplus

Thanks

If compatibility with the +/- syntax for passwd required (default nis):

passwd: compat

If the use of +/- syntax is desired in conjunction with nisplus:

passwd: compat
passwd_compat: nisplus

Hope this will help you :slight_smile:
