Hi,
In case it matters: I'm talking about NetBSD 1.6.1/sgimips.
According to the manpages, NetBSD supports secure NIS maps. However, the
Free- and OpenBSD manpages claim that only them two support it. So, does
NetBSD mean something else by secure NIS maps, or are the Free- and Open-
BSD manuals outdated?
For another thing, I'd like my NetBSD machines to be NIS clients to a
server running OpenBSD. As such, the NIS passwords are encrypted with
Blowfish rather than MD5. Is there an easy way to tell NetBSD to use
Blowfish for password encryption?
Thanks in advance,
Alphons
