Hi gang, I have a 4.3 box at work. I have YP and NIS installed, and running. The problem is, I can't log in using my corporate UID. This is due to one of two problems (I think!) 1. The 4.3 box is using KerberosV encryption on the passwords, and the net is using either crypt (likely) or md5 (unlikely). 2. I don't have ksh installed, and my yp password entry specified ksh as the shell. I say it is likely the corporate network is using crypt, because crypt and md5 are the two options my SUN workstation talk about, and that uses YP/NIS. It is unlikely a SVR4 shop would be using md5, but... It is also possible that I have both problems. Where can I find a ksh to download? The one in ports fails looking for INIT, and I haven't found a ksh package. I can view the password and hosts entries, so I am fairly confident YP/NIS is working. Yes, I am aware that I could set up a local password entry for my UID, with matching UID/GID, but I would prefer to use the coroporate entry, in case the MIS group decides to change things... :-) Bruce To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
