To get around this difficulty, you have to tell FreeBSD to encode passwords with DES (I don't remember how .... but there must be something in the handbook) TfH > This is probably the wrong place to post this, but as I'm not on any of the > mailing lists, sorry but here goes. > > There appears to be a problem with 3.0-RELEASE when trying to use NIS for user > login. > I have 3.0 installed set up as a nis client. when I try and log in using the > nis account I get > > Login Incorrect. > > If I look at the traffic to the NIS master it is interrogating it correctly and > > getting the correct reply.
