Hello, I'm about to set up a network with NIS (YP), and have a solaris and a bunch of Freebsd boxes on a LAN. Both systems use shadow passwords, yet all docs I've found about nis on freebsd says that I need to configure it _not_ to use shadow passwords to interoperate with other OSes, since most systems don't support shadow passwords. Solaris does, though... Once a remember seeing a refererence to solaris, and it said that I mustn't use shadow pw unless solaris runs nis+. This is odd, since freebsd can't run nis+. Maybe one has to run solaris as the server, running nis+ and beeing compatible w/ nis? Has anybody gotten nis working w/ fbsd and solaris, with shadow passwd? My plan is to let FreeBSD act as a server. /Palle To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
