First of all, I am not in the US.

I've got a FreeBSD-2.0.5 machine which I want to make an NIS client.
I am bound up etc no problem and can ypcat passwd successfully, but I can 
not log in as any of the NIS users.

I know this is because crypt is not compatible with other unix 
crypts.  My question is, what exactly must I do to get this to work.

I tried getting the secrdist from South Africa which mostly compiled 
however I still couldn't log in.

Thanks for any help and sorry for asking a FAQ.

-Steve
