linux nis master and hp-ux clients

Hi,

i am trying to setup a linux nis master for our hp-ux workstations. Everything runs fine, but i get major problems when i try to use password aging. The linux nis always want to save the aging infomations in a shadow file, but the hp-ux clients do not support them. How can i configure the linux nis to accept and handle hp-ux style aging informations (inside the passwd file as extension to the password string?)
