>Description:
On YP systems the send-pr internal command

# How to read the passwd database.
PASSWD="cat /etc/passwd"

will yield a null or very short password file. It needs to use

# How to read the passwd database.
PASSWD="ypcat passwd"

on systems where YP is active for passwords. Some routine that
can query for /etc/nsswitch.conf settings would be the most general
fix for Solaris systems.

It seems that this is a result of more subtle problems with the way
GNATS works.

We're working on it.
