If you're trying to authenticate on the Solaris box, your password in NIS had better be stored in crypt format -- not MD5, unless you've taken additional steps on the Solaris box beyond with what I am familiar. If you want to be able to set your password on the FreeBSD box and have login work on the solaris box using NIS, ensure your crypt links point to the weaker ones... There is information in the handbook on this subject: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/nis.html#AEN20965 Your original post wasn't completely detailed in what kind of authentication problems you were having when trying to do what so I've made some assuptions above. If this is not relevant, consider explaining what "problem with the authentication aspect" you are having.
