I want to use my FreeBSD 4.9 server for authenticating logons to my Gentoo
clients. I've set up NIS server as described in the handbook, and if I run
ypcat on the Linux client, it is obtaining information from the server.
However, it is faiing to authenticate users defined on the FreeBSD machine.
Should this work, or is there a problem with the differences between how
FreeBSD/Linux use the passwd file?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
