If the password is stored on a local medium and you're NFS-booting in leiu of a rescue disk, I think the locking should work fine, and if it's on the NFS server then just change it on the server without booting the machine at all. However I noticed also that some of the password hashes ($1 md5 and $2 sha1 i use, didn't try newsalt) seem to be incompatible between NetBSD and FreeBSD. I think one or the other has a bug in sparc64 crypt(). (could be my mistake---i've been making mistakes about things like that recently.) --pgp-sign-Multipart_Thu_Oct_20_15:07:40_2005-1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (NetBSD) iQCVAwUAQ1frB4nCBbTaW/4dAQK8rwQAsRO4RAqCn6gPzLlXgOgv2F/uAD1a/4Oi TnkiyjRYhYjsxzxw9nKXNBic6QZHuNlpBowCdX7jrgGzQKJOw95bhtuDnwlG26SJ MI1zo6dlfT/DdFe96RDKjveIHROIFA4C1oxYMyFIctgVWUnH0ytCy1cSlIrfv9W1 MnLF0HEAGlw= =psrN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --pgp-sign-Multipart_Thu_Oct_20_15:07:40_2005-1--
