If both your Solaris & FreeBSD boxes are using the same encryption scheme you should see the same encryped password. I've seen informatin on how to change this, but I don't exactly remember how. I think this is probably important to making NIS work anyway, since exported password lists won't work unless the NIS client & NIS server are using the same encryption scheme. (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
