could get information fine, but when trying to log in with a linux 
machine (nis server is running FreeBSD 4.4-prerelease), the password 
keeps failing. Seems like the linux box can't correctly read the nis 
passwords.

Is this part of the known problem, or am I doing something wrong?


This looks like you are using different password hashes on linux
and FreeBSD. AFAIK both systems support DES and MD5, but there may
be different defaults in an out-of-the-box installation. Make sure
that both systems are using the same hash.

I wish it were that simple. I'm using md5 on both systems... if I'm the only one who's had problems with this, then perhaps I'm doing something else wrong, however. Any other ideas?
