Hey all. I've got a 5.3-BETA7 box here that is acting as a NIS master,
supporting a mixture of clients. Lowest common denominator, as usual,
is DES.
Steps I took:
o Enabled the 'des_users' class in login.conf.
o Ran cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf.
o Changed the login class for the users I want to have DES passwords for
in the password file.
o Updated the password for the user with passwd.
shell ~ > sudo grep mahlon /etc/master.passwd
mahlon:$1...:1001:1000:des_users:0:0:Mahlon Smith:/home/mahlon:/bin/tcsh
It is still an md5 password. Did I miss a step somewhere along the way,
or was something changed since 4.10 that I didn't catch? (I seem to
recall nothing additional being required in 4.x.)
