The majority of users in my master.passwd file have not changed their password since I upgraded from FreeBSD 4.2 (and I was originally serving NIS from an HPUX machine). But new users and those who have changed their password now have a "different" password in the password file. An example would be - old style password: 6WCVceOXJxRyk new style password: $1$Q31X2mzL$akt0cjOa7lCRcUberobXL/ FreeBSD doesn't seem to have a problem with either one, but Solaris can't handle users with the new style password. It won't authenticate them, although I can (as root) su to that user under Solaris and they are recognized as valid users (finger) and the Solaris box is bound to the FreeBSD nis server. Is there any way I can direct FreeBSD to generate the "old style" passwords? Or is there any way I can direct Solaris recognize the "new style" passwords?
