Bill Paul has spent a lot of time putting together a test program for me. I'm going to follow his lead and build the test program. I'm going to stick to this as work time allows. To answer your follow up mail: Yes, I have DES security installed. As I said, if I copy my passwd entry directly from the Sun master NIS map into the local FBSD vipw session, and tweak it to have the correct fields, everything works, so I don't suspect the DES password encryption (yet). I'll be back... ;v) - Mike -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Borowiec - mikebo@tellabs.com - Tellabs Operations Inc.
