Serving passwords via NIS is not the same thing as copying the password file. The hash in the second field will "probably" not work. (I can't say for positive though). If you're really curious, copy the originals over to a file named /etc/passwd.orig, and then copy the sun versions into place. If that doesn't work, just change them back. Nuthin' like a little ol' trial & error research. ------------------------------------------------------------ Ric Tibbetts Unix Systems Administration The early bird may get the worm, But the second mouse gets the cheese.
