 * New Linux interface: recvmmsg
 
+* New NIS mode selector ADJUNCT_AS_SHADOW.  The passwd.adjunct.byname table
+  will not be used to fill in password fields in the passwd.byname replies.
+  Instead it is used to synthesize the shadow.byname table, should it be
+  missing.  This is a useful mode in some installations involving Solaris.
+  Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
