I am able to get this much working on the FreeBSD box: bash-2.02$ ypmatch michael passwd michael:DESencryptedpassword:1019:1019:Michael Jackson,,,: /home/michael:/bin/bash bash-2.02$ OK, it's getting the info, right? So I attempt to login to the FreeBSD machine from the Linux box and get "login incorrect" after typing in the password. Here is what ypserv -d says about it on FreeBSD: ypserv: client is referencing map "passwd.byname". ypserv: looking up key [michael] ypserv: result of lookup: key: [michael] data: [michael:DESencryptedpassword: 1019:1019:Michael Jackson,,,:/home/michael:/bin/bash] ..but yet it does not authenticate. I have added +::::::::: to the bottom of the passwd database with vipw. One thought: Linux has only six colon-seperated fields in the passwd file, whereas FreeBSD has 9. Does this mean that Linux and FreeBSD are incompatible as far as NIS? Any suggestions/advice/flames whatever greatly appreciated. -- Mark --- When a man calls an animal "vicious", he usually means that it will attempt to defend itself when he tries to kill it. --- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
