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?
