A new option to the low level tools allowing to specify on which files to
work on.=20

Rational: on nis server, you don't want to allow the user of your company to
log onto your nis server, you want them to be added in the DB managed by the
nis server. You don't want to modify /etc/passwd but /var/yp/ypfiles/etc/pa=
sswd.

At least, that's what I understand from this mail, I've no personal opinion,
beside the relative simplicity of the corresponding patch.

I'm CCing debian NIS packager (hello Miquel) to see what he think about it.
[For the context, shadow packaging just changed into a team effort, and
 we're doing massive bug triage]
