Hi, We have a FreeBSD server running 4.5-RELEASE, that acts as a NIS client for login. NIS server is a Sparc/Solaris machine that runs NIS+ in NIS compatible mode. I want to get rid of the Sparc and since there are no more NIS clients, i want to use local passwd for login. How can i transfer the passwd data (including crypted passwords) from the NIS server to the local passwd database? I am able to extract the data from NIS, but how do i write it to local? I really do not want to require all our users to set their passwords again. Thanks for any ideas, -- Heinrich Rebehn University of Bremen Physics / Electrical and Electronics Engineering - Department of Telecommunications - E-mail: mailto:rebehn@ant.uni-bremen.de Phone : +49/421/218-4664 Fax : -3341 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
