# This script is invoked by rpc.yppasswdd after changing the password in
# /etc/shadow or /etc/passwd and it should update the passwd.* and shadow.*
# maps for all domains served by this host. 
# We make a feeble attempt at locking, so as to avoid concurrent builds on 
# the databases. However, this locking does _not_ guard us against the 
# NIS maintainer running make while we build our maps.
