At the risk of being stupid (again):
There are two entries, "AUpwdauthd", used for rpc.pwdauthd, and
"AUyppasswdd", for rpc.ypasswdd.
Both are used to setup C2 logging parameters, the uid for each is used
in a setauid() syscall, and the 'flags' fields (from /etc/security/
passwd.adjuct) get munged into a mask and passed to a
setaudit() syscall.
