I took the source to shadow, changed the predefined file name for
/etc/shadow to be something else, and then I just compile a second
copy of radiusd linking that .o file as well as all the other libs,
then a cronjob encrypts (MD5) and copies the file (rcp) to the backup
servers. I use shadow and radius rather then NIS for everything here.
(Radius hacked: login, popd, ftpd) Note: You only need shadow to exist
on secondary radius servers, not passwd.
