            Bug ID: 233011
           Summary: daily/200.backup-passwd periodic script does not hide
                    password of usernames containing a dash character
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.2-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: conf
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: sigsys at gmail.com

Usernames with a dash in them do not match the sed regex used to hide the
passwords.  AFAIK it should not be necessary to treat "-" and "+" specially at
all there.  If there are NIS lines, they either shouldn't have a second field,
or the second field may also be a password.
