I suppose so. But I prefer Blowfish, which means I would have to migrate
the NIS maps from MD5 to Blowfish some time.

I think I'll have a look at the -current source code and see if I can
somehow merge that into my 1.6.1-release.

Thanks,

Alphons

P.S. For that other guy: I'll decide between NIS and Kerberos (or both)
later. For the moment, I'm familiar with NIS and hardly with Kerberos so
I'll stick to NIS for the moment, get that running and then have a closer
look at Kerberos. But thanks for the suggestion.
