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 , it's just that the string MD5 does not appear on that page at all. :-( :-( Thanks to all who helped!
