 The passwd lens fails if you have anything nis entries in /etc/passwd that
 are more than just "+::::::". This makes it unusable if you need to only
 add particular users or netgroups from NIS. The following are examples of
 valid NIS entries that need to be properly handled.


 {{{
 + at users::::::/bin/bash
 + at admins::::::
 +alice::::::/bin/tcsh
 +bob:::::/home/bob:/bin/bash
 }}}



 {{{
 $ augtool print /augeas//error
 /augeas/files/etc/passwd/error = "parse_failed"
 /augeas/files/etc/passwd/error/pos = "2239"
 /augeas/files/etc/passwd/error/line = "47"
 /augeas/files/etc/passwd/error/char = "0"
 /augeas/files/etc/passwd/error/lens =
 "/usr/share/augeas/lenses/dist/passwd.aug:74.17-.60:"
 /augeas/files/etc/passwd/error/message = "Iterated lens matched less than
 it should"
 }}}
