When I go to the clients and do "ypcat passwd" I can see all the accounts but the passwords are replaced with * and as a result no user can log on... I am new to unix but I have done this again and everything went fine, I can't see why this happens now... Does anyone know what should I do? Thanks in advance, george To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
