The "strings" program chokes if you try using "-n".

Here's a "diff -u" patch that corrects the problem.

the symlinks for yppasswd & friends (we still can't use hard links
because passwd is installed immutable). This would have been simpler
if the LN_FLAGS variable hadn't chosen to wait until now before leaping
out of the /usr/share/mk directory and biting me in the ass. (And thus,
I was enlightened.)
newline must be part of the pattern space i.e. `echo a|sed -e P' must print
a
a
and not
aa
This is consistent with gnu sed, SunOS, Ultrix (and probably others!)
of hard links: since passwd is installed immutable, an attempt to make
a hard link to it during a 'make install' would fail. I didn't notice
this conflict because my /usr directory is an NFS filesystem mounted from a
SunOS server, so the special file mode flags had no effecti when I tested
everything on my machine. Live and learn.
This is the first round of changes to incorporate YP server functionality
into FreeBSD. This particular change allows passwd to change either the
local or NIS password, as well as the NIS GECOS and shell information.
Essentially, I've taken passwd(1) and yppasswd from the yppasswd-0.5
distribution (which is part of the NYS project -- a project to provide
a GNU GPL'ed suite of NIS tools) and rammed them into each other
at high speed. I've tried my best to make this co-exist with the
Kerberos stuff, but since I don't run Kerberos I don't have an easy
way to verify that it all works. If you choose any Kerberos flags
then the YP checks should be bypassed, but that may not be enough.
I'll modify it some more if it turns out I broke something. For now,
support for localand NIS passwords is pretty solid:
- If you simply type 'passwd,' the program checks to see if you exist
in the local pwd.db database. If not, you get bounced to YP.
- If you try to force local functionality with the -l flag and you
don't exist locally, you get an error.
The -y flag can be used to force YP functionality. -f and -s let you
change your full name and shell (respectively). -f *and* -s let you
change all of your 'account information.'
ypchfn, ypchsh, yppasswd and ypchpass are all links to passwd.
It will read a file on stdin and write it as decimal integers on stdout,
this is useful for embedding files in c-sources.
There are a few places where this is needed, and this is a better way than
the current practice of hand-editing the sources.
The command:
date | file2c 'const char date[] = {' ',0};'
will produce:
const char date[] = {
83,97,116,32,74,97,110,32,50,56,32,49,54,58,52,55,58,51,51,32,80,83,84,
32,49,57,57,53,10
,0};
The manual page is 2 lines longer than the source :-)
problems in the process:
1. Quoting should work properly now. In particular, Chet's reported bash
make problem has gone away.
2. A lot of memory that just wasn't being free'd after use is now freed.
This should cause make to take up a LOT less memory when dealing with
archive targets.
3. Give proper credit to Adam de Boor in a number of files.

1) It was export-controlled.
2) It used some ad-hoc protocol invented by Berkeley in ignorance of the
standard MIT distribution's way of doing it (which makes it useless
to most people).
This should be fixed once we have `kadmin'/`kadmind'.
spelled g*compiled* symbols from the kernel so that ddb doesn't have to
do it. The symbols are currently removed by dbsym but dbsym will go
away when symbols are loaded by the boot loader.
Document -m option in usage message.
Check for overrunning some arrays.
Fix some misformatting.
1) Don't spit out an error message if Kerberos is installed but not yet
set up.
2) Don't attempt to verify the ticket you got back, as workstations
are not intended to have srvtab files of their own.
Both behaviors can be re-enabled with KLOGIN_PARANOID.
my mailbox since early last year. Fixes a problem with running out of
fds (by hitting the limit or whatever) when ar is given a long list of
objects. The fix was to add a missing close().

to be padded to 8 chars. Simply make sure that never more than 8 chars
are printed ( %-.8s ). The former commit otherwise hosed the width
calculation and landed on different positions for the time output.
Also the strlen(xx_out_line) hoses the wide
calculation, so that it sometimes make it much larger than necessary.
Simply use always 8 chars for the out_line calculation now. Looks good
this way.
v1.9.0 - December 22, 1994. The program won't exit from the interactive shell
if it's working from a tty. For example, it won't exit if you do an mget
on a pattern that won't match anything. Added padding around jmp_buf's
for SunOS. SunOS needs sigjmp_buf's, but plenty of OS's don't support
sigjmp_buf's yet. Fixed the tips to reflect the new archive site.
v1.8.9 - December 20, 1994. Can now set "passive" user variable, or use
passive command to toggle PASV/PORT ftp. Debug mode now prints remote
responses. Can now get around buggy FTP servers like boombox.micro.umn.edu,
that give back invalid port numbers to PASV.
v1.8.8 - December 19, 1994. Now falls back to port FTP if passive FTP fails.
warning handling and allows for link-time warnings with a modified
version of gas.
Note: Not all of the newer bits were updated such as some of the non-x86
machine-dependant code is relevant to FreeBSD right now.
