I've a netscape commerce server running on my FreeBSD 2.0.5 server. It works
fine except of the NIS incompatibility of FreeBSD/BSDI code. The server can't
read passwd entries via YP so that you have to have a special passwd at some
place in your filesystem where the server can read it and then you must specify
place in the server config 0 of course :-). The passwd doesn't need real passwords,
it's only used to find the home directories from all the users.

Falko.
