Well, my problem concerns about NIS password file which is served by a SUNOS 4.x host. In these machines there isn't the concept of shadow passwords. My problem is that when I try to access the NIS password file from my FreeBSD-2.0.5 host, the password is always invalid. I realized that the password field in FreeBSD is bigger than the password field in SUNOS 4.x. How can I use SUNOS 4.x password file in my FreeBSD box ? I used "vipw" to insert the line "+::::::" in the passowrd file so that I can see the SUNOS NIS password file. Then, I used "ypbind". Now I can see the NIS passwords using "ypcat passwd" but it can't be used by FreeBSD correctly, isn't it ? I just want my FreeBSD box to be a NIS client... Can anybody help me ?
