If the original finally gets through, I apologize for the wasted bandwidth. Hello everyone, I have an issue that i am not certain I am writing to the correct list. Thus, if there is a better list, I gladly welcome input. Here is my conundrum: I have 7 Linux (redhat 6.2) workstations I wish to synch up with a freebsd 3.4 box using NIS. I have verified that both the freebsd and linux boxes are using DES encryption, but am unable to use nis login verification. I have even cut and pasted the encrypted passwords from the freebsd machine to the linux boxes for cross-reference. shadow passwords are in use on both types of systems. Each workstation and server are on the same NIS domain. when ypbind and ypserv (respecively) are running, I am able to use the 'ypcat' and 'ypmatch' programs on the linux boxes to verify data is being transferred. I am simply unable to do a login verification. as another cross reference, i set up a linux box as a yp server to test whether or not the client end was configured correctly. it was. I am limited however, on doing the same with multiple freebsd boxes. It has occurred to me that the linux and freebsd methods of dealing with shadow passwords may differ just enough to be incompatible. Does anyone have any suggestions?
