Hi,
I noticed on a freshly installed suse 9.X some changes in the nis. On older systems NIS users do NOT see the crypted passwords (a X is shown),but now every user SEE's the value's!
Where can I change the behavior ?
There was no change in the NIS configs. It sounds like you enabled shadow over NIS before. This looks like as if a user could not see the crypted values, but this is wrong. Nobody should ever use shadow over NIS. It has no advantages, only disadvantages. And it does not give you a single bit more on security.
