Description ak03 1999-11-18 21:20:01 UTC
       passwd file can contain entries such as +:::::: or +user::::::
       which allow local override of some account fields while others
       are supplied by the NIS. pwd_mkdb utility does not allow entries 
       with empty uid and gid fields even for NIS accounts.

How-To-Repeat: 
       Try to add +:::::: entry to the end of password file with vipw
