I didn't see anything along these lines the the archive, so here goes... (something different to the other threads running these days.)
In 3.3.1 and 4.0-current, if one puts the following in /etc/passwd to enable NIS logins: +:*::::: then logins (console or ssh) of ordinary users don't work. After gdb-ing ssh, I found that getpwnam() consistently returns "*" as the user's password. Removing the "*" makes things work again, but the security check wails about a user w/o a password. Question: Was this intentional behavior or should I submit a pr with a patch? -scooter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
