Hi,

I am experiencing problems trying to connect a FreeBSD NIS client to a
SuSE Linux NIS server. The problem is that the passwords are not
understood by the FreeBSD client. Except this, everything works ok
(ypcat passwd gives me the content of the remote file).
I am able to see user home directories with correct owner names and group
names, so the binding seems to be ok. Also the amd is working ok (the
users have some network located home, with the homes location imported via
NIS). 

I have changed the :passwd_format=des: in the default entry 
in /etc/login.conf and then I've rebuild the database (cap_mkdb
/etc/login.conf) but this seems not to work.

I have changed also in /etc/auth.conf
(
auth_default	=       des
auth_list	=       passwd nis
)


Any hints, help?

Regards,

Gheorghe ARDELEAN
