Hi...

	I'm not sure if its something I'm forgetting to run, or if
its a bug somewhere, but I can't seem to get login's working on my
-current machine with NIS running.

	I've set the appropriate settings in sysconfig, and am running
ypbind -s on that machine, but try as I might, I can't login to that
machine unless the user entry is in the password file on that machine.

	If I run chsh userid, it will grab the NIS data though.

	Someone asked if maybe I had md5 instead of des encryption
installed, so that the encryption mechanisms are different, but an 
md5 encrypted password is a substantially "longer" string then a des
encrypted one, so as far as I can see, both are using des.

	The ypserver is a -stable box, if that means anything?  I know
there were some changes recently to -current's des, but I wouldn't have
assumed that those would have affected it in such a way as to produce
this sort of problem...would it?

Thanks...
