>Description:
	If having deactivated nis accounts in '/etc/{master.,}passwd' like

	  -rad:*:0:0:::
	  +:*:0:0:::

	'/ect/security' fails with a

	  printf: illegal option -- r

	because '-rad' is handled as an option by 'printf'

>How-To-Repeat:
	see above
>Fix:

	Replace 'printf' with 'printf --' at least in the following
	sensitive places (diff file);
