This value indicates that the password for the user is already in /etc/shadow and should not be modified." I read it as "if there is no 'x' in passwd, then passwd contains the password hash." Looking at the fact that SunOS/Solaris still doesn't support a shadow.biname NIS map I don't see another reasonable interpretation. Please reopen this bug.
