(copy nsswitch.nis -> nsswitch.conf)

I've got nis working enough to read the passwd and group maps, it is the
authentication problem that I'm fighting with (I can su from root, but not
login).

The problem is that Solaris doesn't seem to know how to read the password
maps from the FreeBSD server (I think?), and I'm guessing that I need to
create a new map (shadow?) on the server, and I was hoping that somebody
already went through the effort to make this work (so I wouldn't have to).

Thanks
