Byt login with a nis-user are impossible unless : I provide an empty passwd. : - NIS are currecntly not using shadow fueature (I am in the test stage). : - I suspect FreeBSD to use MD5 passwd or somthing wich are not DES as : contrary of NIS passwd. Yes, you need to install the DES package. Go to a non-US FTP site and download it. : How can I found the solution and/or test this two point ? Install the DES package and you'll be okay. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager, Master of Unix-Fu Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ============================================================================= "If you're ever in trouble, go to the CTR.
