Hello! I need to add a Solaris machine to the happy family of FreeBSD machines sharing the user and other databases. I DID uncomment ``UNSECURE=True'' in the /var/yp/Makefile and rebuilt all the files. ``ypcat passwd'' on all clients (including the Solaris one) now lists the encrypted passwords in the second fields of the record. All passwords start with the $-sign. The Solaris-2.6 (SunOS 5.6) machine is configured to be an NIS client. In /etc/nsswitch.conf, the passwd line says ``files nis''. I can `finger' any user on it. However, no non-local user can log-in. Perhaps, the passwords are encrypted differently? Thanks for any clues!
