The group.adjunct file contains the following information for each group:
groupname:password
The group.adjunct file is in ASCII. Fields are separated by a colon, and each group is separated from the next by a NEWLINE.
A group.adjunct file can have a line beginning with a `+' (plus sign), which means to incorporate entries from the Network Information Service (NIS). There are two styles of `+' entries: all by itself, `+' means to insert the entire contents of the group.adjunct NIS file at that point; +name means to insert the entry (if any) for name from the NIS service at that point. If a `+' entry has a non-null password, the contents of that field will override what is contained in the NIS service.
The Network Information Service (NIS) was formerly known as Sun Yellow Pages (YP). The functionality of the two remains the same; only the name has changed.
