Hi. I'm trying to get my Linux client (SuSE 8.0) to login to a BSD server (using MD5 passwords) via NIS. It is possible to do yp requests since all users on the BSD server show up at the SuSE login prompt on my Linux client, however logging in fails with the error 'Login failed'. So I gather password encryption on the BSD server and my Linux client differs. When installing SuSE on my client machine I chose DES as encryption for the passwords, and root as the only local user. To enable the Linux-client for MD5 passwords I first checked "Activate MD5 encryption for passwords" in the yast security module. That seemingly had no effect at all since logging in via NIS to the BSD server still doesn't work. So, I followed the instructions in the file /usr/share/doc/packages/pam/README.md5 and changed the local password for root to see if MD5 was used (to see if MD5 is used it should say $1$ first in the password field of /etc/shadow, right?). Well, logging in still doesn't work. Any ideas? /Anders
