it seems to me that OSX with netinfo lacks the basic security provided by password shadowing, which has been industry default for a long time. try it:
i see encrypted passwords there, and i m not root. for a long time i ve been thinking about turning netinfo off, and using my more familiar flat files. i don t worry about security much (i have no users on my computer, and my network is firewalled), but perhaps i will put this factor on the list.
Code:
nidump passwd .
