You'll have to tell us what those options mean before we can tell you whether there is an equivalent. You don't need to copy /var/yp/master.passwd to edit it; just make the change and run "make". If you want the ability to script changes, use the pw command with the flags "-V /var/yp -y", tells it to manipulate the NIS passwd files instead of the ones in /etc and to run "make" automatically. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
