The passwd seems to be a problem. I know that I can copy the crypted passwd from Sun's /etc/shadow to Linux's /etc/passwd directly and it works. But I did try same with FreeBSD (vipw) and it did not work. The same crypted passwd appears in /etc/master.passwd as it is in Sun's /etc/shadow as it should. Can you help me? Is there NIS/YP in FreeBSD, does it work with Sun? Seppo Kallio U of Jyvaskyla =46inland
