Here is the situation. U have a FreeBSD box that I *think* I specified DES libs on. But now I am trying to get NIS to work with it. I can ypcat the passwd file from another machine OK. But if I change my login to +stan, instead o stan. I can't get longed in. It seems to me that one possibility is differing encryptions. What else should I check?
