Hi guys, I'm having a bit of trouble with NIS under FreeBSD - I have one machine that's 4.1-REL and the other is 4.2. It would seem that one of the machines (the 4.1 box) has MD5 installed as the standard crypto library, whilst the 4.2 machine is using DES. I've looked through the handbook regarding this, and it says that the passwd format to use is defined in /etc/login.conf (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/crypt.html). Similarly, man login.conf didn't help me any; and the NIS page in the handbook doesn't have any solutions for library incompatibilities (though they acknowledge the existence of them). login.conf doesn't contain any references to a crypt method of any sort, so I presume this is just out of date and needs changing. Where else could I look? We'd rather use MD5 than DES, is there some way we can "uninstall" the DES libs from the 4.2 box? thanks a bunch, chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
