No, I suppose we don't but the other system adminstrator wants to use NIS+. It's already configured, up, and running on the SUN and it works fine with FreeBSD (other than the error messages). > > > > BTW, is there any way to override the shell from the Sun password > > map?

Anyway it would always be creating some kind of link from > /bin/ksh to whatever shell you like them to use... I wanted to be able to use bash on the FreeBSD machine. I'd be using it on the Sun, but I haven't gotten it to work correctly. It screws up when you try to wildcard files (like during an ls) and you lose the first character or two of each filename.
