Dear All, I have set up an OpenBSD NIS server which is working as expected. However, there is one point I have not understood yet. My NIS clients are FreeBSD stations. I have added an entry at the bottom of /etc/passwd to request NIS authentication. But the behaviour of the root account authentication is somewhat different. If I login from the console, it uses the local root password. However, if use the su - command, it uses NIS authentication. Is there a way to tell FreeBSD to use only local password for the root account? Thanks in advance. Best regards, Jos=E9 Fragoso --=20 ___________________________________________________ Play 100s of games for FREE! http://games.mail.com/
