We're intending on putting a FreeBSD box into production along some AIX boxes. Is there some sort of way that we can get compatability between the password generated by FreeBSD and the passwords on the AIX boxen? Currently we rdist the password files to the various machines. Previously we used yp/NIS, however the password maps were compromised and the idea of using NIS around here again has not been well received. Are they any ideas that would help with this problem (and, no, we can't just depricate the AIX boxes, no matter how much I'd love to)? -- Dylan Northrup <*> northrup@ucet.ufl.edu <*> http://www.ucet.ufl.edu/~northrup <*> --------------- Random B5 Quote "Sometimes you have to heal the family before you heal the patient." -- Dr. Franklin, "Believers"
