| I looked at the code for convuser, and it deliberately disallows the
combination of -i and -M, so I suspect that the man page is wrong, but
I didn't actually try to track down through the code and find out
WHY this combination is not allowed. The message that your customer
received is a warning message, not an error message. The conversion
from Base to Enhanced maps occurred, the only part that wasn't done
is the invalidation of the passwords in the passwd maps. You can
do this easily enough by editing the /var/yp/src/passwd file and replacing
the passwords with a "*", then remaking the passwd maps.

I also belive that the problem is actually in man pages but on the
other hand I can't see any reason why this combination is illegal.
Could you look at the code more spesific or should I do QAR ?

You are right that the coversion basicly works Ok, only the invalidation
"fails". In this case the problem is that our customer is Technical
Unversity and there is a LOT of accounts that they should edit by hand.
I know that they are not very happy about this solution.
If you found any reason why -i and -M don't work together I (and our
customer) would be very happy !
Many thanks in advance !
