4305942 admsvr3_0 fails to start with 'compat' in nsswitch.conf
	This patch fixes the admsvr3_0 start failures, but when the 
	compat option is used in /etc/nsswitch.conf, a subset of the 
	complete functionality of the normal compat option will be used 
	when searching for user authorizations.
 
	A table of authorization search orders based on the configuration 
	of /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/passwd follows:
 
	/etc/passwd ends in +   passwd_compat:        search order
	yes                     none                  files nis
	yes                     nis                   files nis
	yes                     nisplus               files nisplus
	no                      any                   files
 
	For example, if the compat option is used, and the /etc/passwd 
	file ends with a +, and there is no passwd_compat target in the 
	nsswitch.conf, then the search order for authorizations will be 
	first all of /etc/passwd, then all of the NIS passwd map.
 
	Other special compat mode syntax, such as +-user or +-netgroup,
	is NOT supported.  In order to eliminate any confusion in assigning 
	authorizations, it is highly recommended that all administrative 
	users not be users who go through any of the unsupported compat 
	switch syntax when logging in.
