Ok, here's what i did:
On the NIS+ server:
niscat passwd|awk -F: \
'{print $1":"$2":"$3":"$4":des_users:0:0:"$5":"$6":"$7}' > master.nis
On the FreeBSD machine:
removed system accounts from master.nis
# cat /etc/master.passwd master.nis > new.passwd
removed +:::: entry in new.passwd
# pw_mkdb new.passwd
In /etc/login.conf i uncommented the entry "des_users" because the nis passwords
are in des format.
Now we can login without the nis server, but i still have to take care of groups.
