MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi I couldn't find a page in the handbook as a guide while setting up NIS: is there any documentation/howto for that? And: how do I set up a master.passwd, because when exchanging the file with other hosts it might be difficult I think: in my master.passwd e.g. are long passwords (MD5 passwords) and when using those on a Linux box as NIS client or another FreeBSD host as NIS client without MD5 it might be difficult: can I also put in non-md5's in there (and how to) or isn't this such a big problem as I expect it to be...?! (can it safely be combined with erm... crypt/des passwords? (the same huh) (how do I post-install that eventually) Thank you! Paul P.S. I run FreeBSD 2.2.1
