It wasn't authenticating users coming from the Linux box and after posting here I discovered that it was using md5 encryption (although I specifically told it to use DES during the install routine, come to find out the des package was not included on the CD). The CD I installed from contains FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE (GENERIC). I downloaded the des packages for FreeBSD 3.2 and installed them, rebooted. Still no luck. Not knowing any better I decided to try the des from 3.4-RELEASE instead and now telnet is broken with the following message: Trying 192.168.1.5... Connected to newport. Escape character is '^]'. /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: telnetd: Undefined symbol "realhostname" Connection closed by foreign host. I can only assume the system is hosed at this point (?) and will probably just do a fresh reinstall and start over knowing not to touch the 3.4 stuff. But the question still remains as to why it wasn't authenticating. Are the *crypt* library versions specific to FreeBSD? Has anyone managed to get FreeBSD working as an NIS client for users coming from a Linux box? Am I wasting my time? Here is what's on the Linux box (which is running Debian 2.1 frozen): $ ls -l *crypt* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21506 Apr 3 09:31 libcrypt.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Apr 10 12:24 libcrypt.so -> /lib/libcrypt.so.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Mar 30 20:53 libcrypto.so.0 -> libcrypto.so.0.9.4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 685228 Mar 11 07:33 libcrypto.so.0.9.4 $ Thanks for your time, -- 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
