Hi Geeks, Girls and Guys, ...:^)
I am having a little problem setting up a debian client to derive login data from a freebsd nis server. There is no problem when the freebsd nis server interacts with freebsd clients, but there is a problem when it interacts with a debian gnu/linux client. The authentication works when I force a password in the /etc/passwd file on the debian gnu/linux system. E.g.: +login_whatever:$1$blahblahblah:::::/bin/bash +::::::/bin/bash But, it does not work when the password has to be sourced from the nis server (viz. a freebsd machine). I confirmed that both are communicating/operating on nis v2. And moreover, the password on the freebsd server are stored in md5 too. So, I dont seem to understand what the problem may be. Any help will be great...:) Regards, Neeraj N.B.: I am a freebsd devotee and thus posting this to the freebsd-questions mailing list. I might try debian mailing lists too, but first here...:) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
