Hi -

Does anyone know how to change an existing NIS server from using DES-style
passwords to MD5 passwords? Is it possible to continue running with both
types of passwords, asking users to upgrade as they are ready?

I've tried running

authconfig --enablemd5

on the server and client, but this didn't seem to help very much.

It's years since I used NIS or changed passwords format, but I think it should just work. The two forms of password I used are distinguishable by eyeball, so mixing them was fine.

What form do new passwords take?
