Hey all. I've got a 5.3-BETA7 box here that is acting as a NIS master, supporting a mixture of clients. Lowest common denominator, as usual, is DES.
Steps I took: o Enabled the 'des_users' class in login.conf. o Ran cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf. o Changed the login class for the users I want to have DES passwords for in the password file. o Updated the password for the user with passwd. shell ~ > sudo grep mahlon /etc/master.passwd mahlon:$1...:1001:1000:des_users:0:0:Mahlon Smith:/home/mahlon:/bin/tcsh It is still an md5 password. Did I miss a step somewhere along the way, or was something changed since 4.10 that I didn't catch? (I seem to recall nothing additional being required in 4.x.) -Mahlon Mahlon E.
