+-------[ Stavros M Grigorakakis ]---------------------- | | FreeBSD NIS clients seem not have spotted the difference. | However having searched for possible implications i must point out that | the asterisk is used in the | /usr/src/usr.sbin/rpc.yppasswdd/yppasswdd_server.c (read comments line | 348 ) so i suggest changing line 416 | pw->pw_name, *(ptr+1) == '*' ? "*" : pw->pw_passwd, | to | pw->pw_name, *(ptr+1) == ('*'||'x') ? "x" : pw->pw_passwd, *(ptr+1) == ('*'||'x') is pretty much always going to be false, which means you're passing the password out all the time, which is why your Linux clients work after this change. You might as well use the UNSECURE="TRUE" flag in the Makefile, which would achieve the same result. -- Totally Holistic Enterprises Internet| | Andrew Milton The Internet (Aust) Pty Ltd | M:+61 416 022 411 | ACN: 082 081 472 ABN: 83 082 081 472 |akm_at_theinternet.com.au| Carpe DaemonReceived on Wed May 19 2004 - 07:13:55 UTC
