what is the entry in the "crypt_default" two OSes /etc/auth.conf files? I suspect the FreeBSD 4.8 is defaulting to MD5 encyption and the FreeBSD 4.7 is knowledgable about DES encyption. MD5 passwords are obvious because they start with "$1$" and they are longer than DES encrypted passwords. Sounds like you are re-implementing YP/NIS (see: man 8 yp). --Mark Tinguely _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
