Hi... Just had the same problem. Not sure why, but our FreeBSD client never talked to our Linux server. We setup an SGI IRIX box to be a slave to the Linux box and then point the FreeBSD box to the SGI. That fixed the issue. Linux just isn't doing something right :-) Cheers, Ryan -----Original Message----- From: Ardelean Gheorghe [mailto:ardelean@ww.uni-erlangen.de] Sent: Monday, August 20, 2001 10:09 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Problems w/FreeBSD NIS client and SuSE Linux NIS server 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?
