Thanks, that did it!
What really confuses me is that logging it had worked all the time;
just the passwd command on NIS clients broke. Weird, very weird.
While we are at it, how about adding
default:\
:passwd_format=md5:\
:...
to /etc/login.conf to make clear that MD5 is now the default?
Yes, I had checked <http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.2R/notes.html>, it's
just that the string MD5 does not appear on that page at all. :-( :-(
Thanks to all who helped!
Gerald
