annexia Linux 2.0.25 (RedHat 4.0) virgil FreeBSD 2.2.1-release Oh dear! More problems with accessing a Linux server from FreeBSD. I managed to configure the FreeBSD box as a NIS client by editing /etc/sysconfig. I also added '+' to the end of /etc/passwd, /etc/master.passwd and /etc/group. After rebooting, I can see the NIS password maps using "ypcat passwd", ie: % ypcat passwd joe:XYZ:504:504::/home/joe:/bin/bash ian::503:503::/home/ian:/bin/bash bill:ABC:500:500::/home/bill:/bin/bash (Names changed to protect the innocent ...) However, I can't log in. I understand that there's an incompatibility with Linux in that Linux uses DES to encrypt passwords, whereas FreeBSD uses MD5 by default. However, on this machine, I selected DES encryption during the install, and /usr/lib/libcrypt.* -> /usr/lib/libdescrypt.*. So I should be using DES on this box already? True? However, I can't even log in as "ian" (who doesn't have a password). So it doesn't seem to be a DES/MD5 problem at all. Any help much appreciated.
