If both your Solaris & FreeBSD boxes are using the same wmoran->encryption scheme you should see the same encryped password. I've seen wmoran->informatin on how to change this, but I don't exactly remember how. I wmoran->think this is probably important to making NIS work anyway, since wmoran->exported password lists won't work unless the NIS client & NIS server wmoran->are using the same encryption scheme. (feel free to correct me if I'm wmoran->wrong). wmoran-> wmoran->-Bill ................. There is a GNU tool/command called "pwconv" and "pwunconv" to convert and reverse shadow passwords. That may provide a starting point if there is a similar tool in Solaris / BSD -- Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 -o) San Francisco CA 94121 /\ "UNIX, A Way Of Life." _\_v http://forwardslashunix.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
