Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I am trying to move my lab's old NIS master server from old Sparc station (running SunOS 4.x) to the FreeBSD box. My question is: Can I do it without any compatibility problem? my boss is concern about the encryption system (FreeBSD uses MD5(?) where SunOS/Solaris uses DES(?)). Would it matter? Then, how could I move the database from the old Sun to the FreeBSD box? there are about 150 users registered with NIS? should I set the FreeBSD as NIS slave master? the plan is to retire all the Sun boxes and replace it with FreeBSD boxes. Last question: I don't think it would matter, but should I concern with different UID between FreeBSD and SunOS? (for ex: FreeBSD "bin" has UID 3, where SunOS "bin" has UID 2, etc) Thank you for any assistance provided.
