My question - what do I do to get the freebsd system to use yp/nis for logins? Do I need to twiddle the /etc/passwd or master.passwd file in some way? I know I read something 100 years ago on how sun does it - something to do with +'s on a line but Ill be dragged thru mud if I can find the book I read it in. Any help is appreciated!
