This means that if the user's password (the second field in /etc/shadow (or
/etc/passwd if you're not using shadow passwords)) is set to "*", the
user's password from the Netware server will be used; if it is not set to
"*", that (encrypted) password will be used.
See shadow(5) and passwd(5) for more information on /etc/shadow and
/etc/passwd .
