I've installed freebsd 2.2.5-RELEASE and enabled ypbind in rc.conf. A "ps"
shows
that the process is running. I issue the command:

ypcat passwd | grep <user>

which shows that the freebsd system queries the yp server which return the
user
information. The /etc/passwd file on the freebsd system  was edited to
include the in the last line
+:*:0:0::::::
to add  to this file the yp servers password maps.

When I login in as this user my password gets rejected, yet other systems on
the
network login in correctly. The exact message is

login incorrect

Help would be appreciated, Thank you
