I don't know about secure but what I've done is linked the pg_passwd file to
/etc/passwd and then people remote ODBC user can change their database
password via the passwd command (or yppasswd). I've got a RH 5.0 system
running without shadowed password but with NIS. I'm curious what people think
of this from a security standpoint.
