Solaris 10 NIS client configuration
Hi,
I have a Solaris 10 machine and trying to connect it to a Linux NIS Server. Up till now I have set up NIS so that it does find the NIS server and gets the user list.
Automounter also mounts some directories from an NFS server.
However, I can't get it to map the shadow passwords (they are MD5 and unfortunately I cannot change that).
Can you give me some guidelines on what to try?
Thanks
