No, I expect it to be NP not *NP*.

We use SSH with GSSAPI and the LDAP accounts use {crypt}NP
This works on Linux, Solaris 10 using the Solaris sshd, and older
Solaris systems using OpenSSH sshd.

The OpenSSH 4.5 src/sshd.0 talks about using locked accounts and NP or *NP*.

See the OpenSolaris source for pam says it can use *NP*:
http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/lib/pam_modules/

But many of the sun blogs talk about NP. So OpenSolaris may have added *NP*
as well.

NP works for us from LDAP.
