Hi.

I just wondered, is it possible for FreeBSD to use the YP maps used on
Sun workstations.  The part in which I am particularly interested is
the yppasswd map.  Can SunOS and FreeBSD share the same encrypted
passwords?
I run SunOS 4.0.2 on Sun 386i's on the Sun side, and FreeBSD 2.1.0 on an
Intel clone on the other side..
