According to sources and recent discussion in freebsd-stable (subject is "Hmm..passwords."), it should work for both passwd and yppasswd. Maybe you can ask here - there was bigger discussion about that. Example of passwd_format usage in login.conf is commited in -stable now. Is passwd_format=des on all NIS FreeBSD > 4.1.1 machines? It has to be workstations, where passwords are changed, not servers. Is yppasswd/passwd binary really from FreeBSD 4.1.1? If you mean that yppasswd uses md5, but passwd des, it has to be bug. However source code looks well (we do not have NIS anymore and local passwords work as expected). -- Rudolf Cejka (cejkar@dcse.fee.vutbr.cz; http://www.fee.vutbr.cz/~cejkar) Brno University of Technology, Faculty of El.
